Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interactions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Essentially, music therapy is using music to accomplish non-music goals. Each session is individualized based upon the child and families' needs, goals and objectives and preferences. The Music Therapists at Hands in Harmony are all approved
Level II practitioners in the state of Rhode Island.
