What happens during a music therapy session? (list 4)

  • Create music. You compose music, write lyrics or make up music together.
  • Sing music. You use your voice to share a piece of music.
  • Play an instrument. You use an instrument like a guitar, drums or piano to share music.
  • Improvise. You and your therapist work together to make music and sounds that reflect how you’re feeling. This may involve singing and/or playing instruments.
  • Move to music. This can be as simple as tapping your toes together or as complicated as a coordinated dance.
  • Listen to music. With directed listening, your therapist makes music or plays a recording, and you listen to it. You then talk about the music and use it to help process your emotions or experiences. Your therapist may also play music to relax you, using the rhythm to guide you in breathing or stretching.
  • Discuss lyrics. You read or listen to the lyrics of a song and talk about their meaning.
