What is Music Therapy?
Definition
Music therapy is defined by the Australian Music therapy Association Inc (AMTA) as a research-based practise and profession in which music is used to actively support people as they strive to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing.
Skillset
Registered Music Therapists (RMT’s) are skilled musicians who are trained to understand how music impacts behaviour, cognitive processes and emotions.
Working Together
They work collaboratively with individuals to decide on goals to be addressed in music therapy, facilitate music experiences in which people can participate comfortably and evaluate the benefits of music to people’s health and well being. (Australian Music Therapy Association).
What is Occupational Therapy?
Definition
Occupational therapy (OT) is a degree-based health profession, regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Approaches
Occupational therapists use a whole person perspective to work with individuals, groups and communities to achieve optimal health and wellbeing through participation in the occupations of life
Goals
The term ‘occupation’ is used to describe all the everyday things we do in our life roles, but also the things we do to be who we are, the things we do to create a meaningful life and to engage with wider society and culture. (OT Australia)
