The populations served by music therapists include individuals with mental disorders, substance abuse issues, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, sensory disorders and acute/chronic pain. There is also a growing focus on preventative medicine today, and many music therapists work at wellness practice which involves the specialized use of music to enhance quality of life, maximize well being and potential and increase self-awareness.
Music Therapists often work as part of an interdisciplinary treatment team, working with other disciplines to meet common goals for the patient or client. They may interface with art and dance therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, speech therapists and other health care personnel.
