Music therapy is the use of music and musical techniques to facilitate personal and communal growth and well being. It is a widely accepted and highly respected treatment modality in Canada today.
This seminar is presented in response to an increasing interest by health care professionals and the general public to include music therapy in comprehensive treatment plans, and in the role of everyday life for patients and persons with special needs.

presenter will share her own work as a music therapist through the
