ABSTRACT: This post explores the benefits of music therapy for children and teens both in the hospital and while recovering at home. The author, a licensed music therapist, defines music therapy as “the therapeutic use of music to meet a child’s mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs.” Music therapy is beneficial to having children express emotions in a non-verbal way and can also help the child feel more in control of a difficult situation. In addition to discussing ways the hospital uses music therapy to aid in patient recovery, the author offers tips for parents and caregivers to use at home to continue using music as a healing technique.The post also gives a clear explanation of the difference between music therapy and music education.
