Question 5

Is SingFit music therapy? What is music therapy?

Accepted Answer

SingFit provides access to a platform where one can engage with therapeutic music, it is not music therapy. 
Music therapy is the treatment of cognitive, emotional, physical, and social challenges through the use of music by a certified music therapist. Music therapists are healthcare professionals who complete over four years of music therapy training and are certified by the AMTA. Music therapists work with clients to identify health goals based on their needs and implement a treatment plan to produce positive health benefits.  
Although SingFit was designed by music therapists, it is not considered music therapy. Music therapy must be facilitated by a professional music therapist. When non-music therapists use SingFit, they are using a platform where they can engage therapeutic music.
For more information, please check out our blog on the difference between Music Therapy and Therapeutic Music and/or the American Music Therapy Association website. Here is another article that helps illustrate the power of music therapy.

Question 6

Do you have to be familiar with music to facilitate the sessions?
