Music Therapy is the clinical use of music to reach social, emotional, physical and cognitive goals. 

In some countries, such as the United States, Music Therapy is a thriving evidence-based field that is continuing to grow in research and implementation.

 

In other regions of the world, music has been used as a way of healing for centuries and is an age-old practice for many cultures. Through observation, collaboration and exchange, Umoja connects with these preexisting practices and provides resources and advocacy to promote them further.
