About This Course

Music has the power to impact us on multiple levels—physiologically, neurologically, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and transpersonally. However, our responses to music are deeply individual. One of the most profound ways music shapes us is through its influence on our sense of identity, which is particularly evident during adolescence, as the music we connect with becomes a key part of who we are. This course will explore how music can be used in therapeutic settings, emphasizing the importance of collaborating with a trained music therapist when their expertise is needed to support clients in their emotional and psychological journey.
