~There are so many ways to define, describe, and explain this amazing field of Music Therapy. For me, music therapy is a way to provide a non-threatening environment for growth. It’s an avenue through which I can touch my clients emotionally, on their own personal level of need. Music is a medium, rather than or in addition to traditional verbal therapy, through which my clients can acquire language, learn pro-social behaviors, develop communication skills, improve self-concept, gain or regain a sense of self-control, and express themselves intuitively. Music Therapy is an extremely gratifying career, yet one which requires intense training and on-going professional development. lora@mybabyfingers.com
