TRAINING - MUSIC THERAPY
Clinical Music Therapy is a clinical intervention which uses the healing power of music either in group or one to one situations.
Everyone has the ability to respond to music, and music therapy uses this connection to facilitate positive changes in emotional wellbeing and communication through the engagement in live musical interaction between client and therapist.
Ashwaas offer a range of training courses and qualifications.
