Music therapy is not about teaching people to play an instrument. We do not give lessons with the aim of helping people to master a musical instrument. Rather, music therapy is about helping people to be able to communicate using the medium of music, sound and rhythm. During the session, a registered music therapist will use music to help to engage the clients, whether in a one-to-one or group setting. Music becomes the way of expressing feelings and communicating. The clients are encouraged to create a musical language with which they can better express themselves to others.
Music therapy is a great choice in residential care homes where residents have limited ability to communicate. For example, they may have a limited vocabulary which makes it difficult to let people know what they want or need. Alternatively, the client may have no ability to express their feelings verbally, or they may struggle in expressing emotions and feelings. For all clients in Aberchirder with limited communication ability, music therapy makes possible effective communication.
Communication is important. Not being able to communicate openly can become a cause of frustration for a client. Despite the dedicated efforts of staff in residential care homes, if a person feels that they cannot express themselves, they can be emotionally affected. This is why Aberchirder residential care homes should take advantage of the opportunity to provide their clients with effective, professional music therapy.
There are many reasons why a person may benefit from music therapy. For example, individuals with sensory needs can benefit from the sounds and feelings of using musical instruments. Those on the autistic spectrum can use music as a way of expressing their feelings, as can those with social isolation and confidence issues. Music therapy is a great way of building self-esteem. Clients may also have a wide range of other communication difficulties, mental health problems and neurological conditions and benefit from our specialist music therapy.
As well as giving clients a way to communicate their feelings and needs through music, there are other important benefits. For example, music therapy helps to build the ability to interact socially with peers and family. It helps in learning turn taking skills, as well as increasing listening skills. It helps with personal growth, through individuality and creativity development, as well as confidence building.
