Watching clients laugh and enjoy themselves in music therapy is powerful.

Those moments of joy build connection, reduce stress, and show real therapeutic engagement. For therapists, seeing this reminds us that healing doesn’t always look serious, sometimes it sounds like laughter and shared music.

Joy is part of the work. Music makes space for it! 🎶

The British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT).

It is also a charity committed to promoting and raising awareness of Music Therapy, and providing information to the general public.

Day 21 — Following the Client’s Lead

In music therapy, the client always leads. Whether that’s choosing an instrument, repeating a sound, changing the pace, or sitting in silence, their lead guides the session.

By following rather than directing, we create a space built on trust, safety and respect where expression feels natural and communication can unfold in its own time.

Day 20 - The Power of Choice in Music Therapy

Choice is a key part of music therapy. Here, the client chose to play the ukulele while selecting a demo song on the keyboard for us to play along to together. These are the small moments that hold big meaning.

Being able to choose an instrument, a sound, or what comes next builds confidence, supports communication, and helps individuals feel in control and heard. Music becomes a shared experience, led by them.

Day 19 - Singing and Signing

Singing and Signing together creates a powerful combination in music therapy.

Music adds rhythm, melody and emotional expression, while signing supports understanding, communication and access.

Together, they reinforce meaning, support engagement, and offer multiple ways to connect.

Day 18 - A Case Study

Music therapy provides a safe, responsive space where this client can lead, make choices and explore instruments freely. Through shared, playful music-making, music supports emotional regulation and helps develop communication using sound, movement and signs; allowing music to become their voice.

Day 17 - Why Music Therapy Works

Music therapy works because music engages the whole person; emotionally, physically and neurologically. Music activates multiple areas of the brain at the same time, supporting communication, movement, memory and emotional processing.

It also provides a safe, structured space for expression and connection. When words are hard to find, music offers another way to be heard, understood and supported. That’s where its power lies, in meeting people exactly where they are.

Day 16 - Music Therapy in Different Settings

Music therapy can look very different depending on the person, the space, and the support needed.

Sessions might be one-to-one or in groups, in person or online, and take place in schools, homes, community settings or care environments.

What stays the same is the intention; using music to support communication, emotional wellbeing, regulation and connection. Flexibility is key, because music therapy adapts to the individual, not the other way around.
