What is Music Therapy

Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based health profession that uses music purposefully to support emotional, cognitive, communication, physical and social needs. It is provided by a trained music therapist and tailored to each person’s goals, strengths, and needs.

At Music Therapy Borneo, music therapy services in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah may support children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in areas such as autism, mental health, disability support, paediatric care, neurological rehabilitation, and palliative or supportive care. No musical experience is needed. Music therapy is not a music lesson or performance activity. It is a therapeutic process that uses music intentionally to support health, development, participation, and wellbeing.
