Music Therapy 

 

Warwickshire County Music Service provide Music Therapy in school. 
We have a music therapist come into school to work with pupils with complex needs. She comes in once a week on a Friday.  

Music Therapy is a therapeutic treatment with the use of music as the non-verbal intervention. It is based on improvised music in which the children can express themselves, become aware of their feelings and interact more easily. 

The aims of Music Therapy include: 

• Increasing communication, interaction and self expression 

• Developing an awareness of self and others 

• Providing emotional support 

• Developing listening skills, sharing and taking turns 

• Developing co-ordination and motor control 

• Increasing self confidence 

• Building trust and meaningful relationships
