Music Therapy as a Career Music Therapists are professional standard musicians who have undertaken additional, specialist training. They work with clients individually or in groups, using a huge variety of music. The choice of music depends on the therapist’s approach, what is appropriate to the client, what the client likes, their culture etc. However, most music therapists use instruments that can be played by everyone: Percussion instruments such as bells, cymbals, drums, xylophones and a large number of ethnic instruments. Whilst pre-recorded music and songs may be used, it is most common for the therapists to use the instruments themselves and to use music that is created in the moment - to improvise. For
