Music therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on health, functioning and well-being. Music therapy is the intentional use of music by a university-trained registered music therapist, who, drawing on an extensive body of research, will incorporate a range of music-making methods within and through a therapeutic relationship.
There is a large body of research that describes how music affects the brain and how music can assist children. Music activates many areas of the brain and has been found to positively affect early childhood development, learning and daily functioning including attention, listening, speech production, emotions, motor skills, memory, coordination and decision-making.
