Knowledge with care

Grounded in research

The courses are being developed using scientific literature, clinical experience and established concepts from music therapy and related fields. Research findings, professional interpretation and personal experiences are clearly distinguished.

Music may be helpful as part of stress regulation. Experiences depend on the person and the situation; specific outcomes are not guaranteed. Sources and the limits of the evidence will be made clear in the course materials.
