What is the Difference between Music Therapy and Music Education?

At Melinda's Music, we do both. Most people allready know that Music Education assists an individual or group regarding learning how to play an instrument or how to read music.

Music Therapy is the use of music, as a vehicle, to obtain non-musical goals, such as increasing Socialization Skills, Focus, Speech, Fine and Gross Motor Skills, Reminiscence, Emotional Expression, Peacefulness, etc.
