Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy
Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses music to support emotional, physical, and social well-being. Developed by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins in the 1950s, this method focuses on the unique relationship between the therapist and the client, using improvisational music to facilitate communication and expression.
In sessions, trained therapists engage clients through singing, playing instruments, and creating music together. This approach is beneficial for individuals of all ages, particularly those with autism, dementia, or developmental disabilities. The goal is to enhance personal growth, improve quality of life, and foster connections through the power of music.
