Our Music Therapy Approach

A structured, client-centred method for supporting communication, emotional expression, and development through music.

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is a regulated form of arts therapy used to support emotional, developmental, behavioural, and communication outcomes. Sessions are guided by clinical principles and tailored to each client's needs.

At Helping Notes, our approach is structured and client-specific. We use musical interaction—improvisation, listening, movement, and structured musical tasks—to help clients express themselves, build skills, and achieve therapeutic goals.
