Our final music therapy method for this week is receptive music therapy. Everyone has songs or artists that they feel especially connected to. Finding ways to use these preferences in a therapeutic way is so important in our practice. Cicely shares a few ways that she uses the receptive method in her sessions. Much like re-creative, this is a wonderful way to incorporate your client’s favorite songs in a therapeutic way. How do you use this method in your own practice? #musictherapy #methodology #mtmethods #musictherapymethods #receptivemt #receptivemusictherapy

Not only do Music Therapists use music that is already created, we also create our own music. Our clients can express themselves and show what they have learned through creating their own music as well! We continue this discussion of music therapy methods, as Jess shares about compositional music therapy. One of the biggest benefits of composition, or songwriting, is that it gives clients the agency to express themselves in a way that they may not regularly get to do! Song writing can be customized to each person with different levels of supports, and music therapists can write songs to work on their client’s specific needs. Do you have a favorite song you have created either for a session or in a session? Drop your stories below! #musictherapy #compositionalmusictherapy #musictherapymethods

This week, our music therapists are sharing more about the methods of music therapy! Emma’s sharing how she uses the improvisational method in her work. Improvisation is a great tool to assist with connection, expression, and nonverbal communication. Music Therapists - What’s your favorite way to use improvisation in a music therapy session? #musictherapy #improvisationalmusictherapy #musictherapymethods #improvisation

It’s no secret that music therapists utilize music in their work, but just HOW do they use that music? This week, our staff music therapists are each sharing a little bit about the four music therapy methods, their uses and benefits, and their favorite ways to use them in their practice. First up, Molly shares about re-creative music therapy. One of the biggest benefits of re-creative music therapy is that it often incorporates client preferred music, which can be a huge motivator! What’s YOUR favorite way to use re-creative music therapy in your work? Drop your ideas below! #musictherapy #recreativemusictherapy #musictherapymethods
