Music Therapy & managing 'big emotions'

Often we’re asked how music therapy helps people manage ‘big emotions’. There’s no quick fix. However, we find that, through the therapeutic use of musical improvisation, rhythmic play and songwriting, people can express themselves with and without words and find ways to use music to support regulation, relieve anxiety and enhance mood. There’s much more evidence of the benefits of music therapy on our website and the evidence booklet produced by the Australian Music Therapy Association
