What is Music Therapy?

It is an evidence-based use of musical interventions to improve our lives. We all know that music connects us with one another but did you know that music can help connect with our inner selves too? Music therapy is also used to clinically help disorders such as Autism or Bipolar. Music holds magic within, which upon meeting our ears can often inform us about our own thoughts and feelings.
