Introduction

Music therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses music to help people with a wide
range of mental health issues. It is a professional health ally in which music is used within a
therapeutic relationship to address the physical needs, psychological and social needs of
individuals. It is a goal-oriented intervention, which may involve making music, singing, writing,
listening, discussing, and dancing to music. The goals of music therapy are from the alleviation
of psychological stress, discomfort, anxiety, and social isolation to the modulation of mood and
behavior modification.
