Music therapy benefits people with:
| Mental Health Needs | Music therapists create nonthreatening music experiences for the exploration of feelings and theraputic issues, such as self esteem or personal insight. |
| Developmental Disabilities | Music therapists structure sessions that teach cognitive, motor, and daily living skills through music and provide the opportunity to experience the success of music performance. |
| Alzheimer's Disease | Music therapists select music from the patient's past to trigger short and long term memory, decrease agitation, and enhance reality orientation. |
| Substance Abuse Problems | Music therapists use techniques such as song writing and song lyric analysis to confront the client's barriers to the recovery process. |
| Brain Injuries | Music therapists organize music-making groups to encourage self-expression, communication, and socialization, and to facilitate cognitive retraining. |
