What it looks like
If you are interested in music therapy, I will ask you what your music preferences are during our first session.
When we meet, I will ask you what is most important to work on for the session. Based on your response, we will chose a music therapy approach that best fits your need.
All music therapy experiences are tailored to your musicality- it’s 100% okay if that is 0. You do not have to be a musician to benefit from music therapy!!
