04 Aug 2023 Musictherapy “à la carte”

Music therapy session has been the all time favorite of the residents. This month has been even more fun as each client was asked to sing or dance their favorite song whiles the therapist played the instrument. This exercise was very entertaining and relaxing.

Emanda, the therapist, quotes “Music therapy to me is music performance without the ego. It’s not about entertainment as much as it is about empathizing. If you can use music and arts to slip past the pain and gather insight into the workings of someone else mind, then you can begin to fix the problem.”
