For music therapists, music is a means - not an end. While it may look as if Laura, one of our music therapists, is teaching piano to Willie in this photo, that's not the point.

Willie just happens to respond positively to music (and to Laura). That's how the therapeutic relationship is forged. That's why music therapy works! #musictherapy #musictherapyeducation #musictherapyadvocacy
