CHENNAI SCHOOL OF MUSIC THERAPYTaking Traditions to Clinical Practice

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Welcome to Chennai School of Music Therapy in collaboration

with IMC University of Applied Sciences, Krems, Austria.

Modern Health care delivery is redefined encompassing caring

and social dimensions. Nature of treatment for any kind of illness is

not just clinical treatment but also care. There is a shift to the

integrated approach of treating the person as a whole and not just the disease. The health

care system has begun to function with an interdisciplinary team including allied health

professionals to improve the Quality of life components and to bring a balance between

the mind, body and the soul of the individuals.

Music Therapy is one such allied health profession in the West where music is used within

a therapeutic relationship by a qualified music therapist to improve physiological, social,

cognitive, psychological and spiritual dimensions of individuals in a clinical context. In

India, contemporary Music Therapy practice, education and research are just emerging

and still exists as a strong belief system on traditional healing influences on a theoretical level.

Chennai School of Music Therapy revisits Indian healing traditions and transfers them into

modern Music Therapy practice, education and research based on scientific and evidence

foundational training programme prepares the students to take up a professional course

on music therapy offered by the School to become a certified music therapist. Those of the
