Find Music Therapist Opportunities in Japan

MTs work with individuals of all ages across a variety of settings, including hospitals, hospices, schools, residential treatment facilities, mental health centers, private practice, and more. There is a growing body of research showing that music therapy can be effective for treating a wide range of issues such as mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety disorders), developmental disabilities (e.g., autism), physical health problems (e.g., chronic pain), and more. One of the most important things that MTs do is build relationships with their clients. The relationship between client and therapist is key to successful outcomes in music therapy – without trust and rapport it will be difficult for clients to engage in the musical activities which form the basis of treatment.. The way in which this relationship is built will vary depending on factors such as client population, setting, type of intervention being used etc., but will always involve elements of both verbal communication (talking) and nonverbal communication (including through music making).
