The benefits gained from music therapy may be as varied as the needs of the service user accessing the service.
For example, music can convey feelings without the use of words. For a person whose difficulties are mainly emotional, music therapy can provide a safe setting where difficult or repressed feelings may be expressed and contained. By offering support and acceptance, the therapist can help the service user to work towards emotional release and self-acceptance.
Music is essentially a social activity involving communication, listening and sharing. These skills may be developed within the musical relationship with the therapist and, in group therapy with other members. As a result service users may develop a greater awareness of themselves in relation to others. This can include developing greater confidence in their own ability to make relationships and to find positive ways of making their needs known. It can also greatly enhance self-esteem.
Music can be a great motivator and can be used to promote developmental work, for example, with service users with physical and/or learning disabilities. Involvement in creative music-making can assist physical awareness and develop attention, memory and concentration. Obviously, as each person's needs are different, the various possibilities offered by music therapy will not be so easy to separate. Rather, there will normally be a considerable overlap between the areas described.
