Musical Monsters - When the music therapist doesn't just use music...
As a Registered Music Therapist for 20 years I am used to playing, singing, composing and listening to music with clients and in planning for such sessions. However the more I explore the power of music to drive change and realise identified goals the more I am also aware of the need to expand my creative output. Sometimes just the music isn't enough and working together to create something else can be super powerful.
