Music therapy is the planned use of music to assist in the healing and growth of people with emotional, intellectual, physical or social challenges. Music therapy at Raukatauri is delivered by our Registered Music Therapists via a clinical practice rooted in the humanistic model of music therapy which recognizes each individual’s uniqueness and worth.
Each client’s goals are developed individually and may focus on:
improved communication abilities
increased independence, self-confidence and self-awareness
strengthened interpersonal relationships and reduced isolation
improved attention, learning and memory
reduced anxiety and improved self-regulation
In music therapy sessions, each person actively engages with a Registered Music Therapist through music improvised uniquely with them, as well as through favourite songs and musical activities. Clients interact and communicate with their therapist, expressing their personalities, ideas and emotions in whatever musical way they can – through instruments, voice and movement. Some sessions are playful and exuberant, others joyful and dynamic, and some others introspective and thoughtful. All are expressive of the individual, empowered by his or her relationship with the therapist and focused on achieving the goals that have been developed in collaboration with the family.
