Music Therapy Singapore
Music therapy uses music experiences and the relationships that develop through them to promote health and wellbeing. As a Board-Certified Music Therapist (U.S.A.) practising in Singapore since 2005, my practice is evidence-based, i.e. using best available evidence, taking into account the clients’ preferences, and based on my training and expertise.
Music Therapy for our modern times
The stress, anxiety, and isolation experienced by many in recent years has led to a decline in wellbeing, and even severe deleterious health consequences post-Covid-19.

Music therapy goals are always health-related and meaningful to the client (and often their family and loved ones). Music therapy is not for entertainment or music mastery. There are other outlets for these purposes, e.g. karaoke, jazz clubs, community choir groups, and music lessons.
