Music therapy is a type of treatment which involves using music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals. There are many use-cases for this, and music therapy professionals use audio interventions to achieve therapeutic goals in hospitals, schools and rehabilitation centres.
Music therapy can help people enhance their well-being through creative expression, allowing people to process emotions and access memories which were once thought to be lost. To pursue a master's in music therapy, you’ll typically need a strong undergraduate degree along with proficient musical skills across various musical traditions, with the emotional and intellectual capacity to provide therapeutic care.
There are eight Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) approved master’s level music therapy courses available to study in the UK, and an increasing demand for qualified professionals.
The programme will cover various therapeutic approaches, with practical group learning, lectures, seminars and personal tutorials. Assessment is typical coursework based and practical experience is an essential component of the course, particularly for meeting HCPC standards. You’ll spend a lot of time on placement, working directly with a range of clients and learning to manage the logistical side of the job.
You’ll train to work in diverse healthcare settings. Upon completion, you’ll be equipped to make meaningful contributions to individuals' well-being through the transformative power of music. Music therapists find work in the NHS, as well as care homes, schools, community spaces, prisons, hospitals and private homes.
