Their clients range from children with autism or developmental disabilities, through adults recovering from brain injuries or addiction, to seniors with Parkinson’s disease, depression or dementia.

Music therapy is a fascinating field full of human interest, but unfamiliar to many people. (3z(BMusic for Other Reasons(3y (Boffers a warm and informal introduction to the profession and its practitioners.
