What Is Music Therapy? A music therapy session may incorporate different elements, such as making music, writing songs, or listening to music. Music therapists are trained in more than music; their education often covers a wide range of clinical skills, including communication, cognitive neuroscience, psychological disorders, as well as chronic illness and pain management.

Sessions with a music therapist take place wherever they practice, which might be a private office, clinic, or community health center.
