Other therapeutic professionals utilize music daily including speech, occupational, and physical therapists. Musical Bridges staff are highly trained and have the necessary credentials to provide Music Therapy, but our community partners do not have this. This does not however mean that they cannot use music IN therapy. In collaboration with our community partners, we want to share our top pre-recorded goal-oriented songs. At Musical Bridges, we don’t often use pre-recorded music in our practice, so we also want to share some songs that can be implemented outside of Music Therapy at home and by other professionals live.
