Welcome

The Song Therapy Network is an informal international association of independent community musicians and activity co-ordinators. We offer support, training and resources to those running singing and music groups in the community, social care and education. Song Therapy is a new approach to recreational singing and music making in the community. It acknowledges that the quality of music making in these settings is ultimately linked to the human skills of the leaders of these groups;

how they see the world and events in their own lives; the nature of the relationships that they build with others and very importantly, the nature of the relationship that they build with themselves.

Song therapy training promotes responsible, informed and sensitive group leadership ensuring at all times the well being of music group participants.

Song therapy is not music therapy which is a clinical healthcare profession.* Song therapy does however offer a range of very specific therapeutic goals that can be responsibly pursued in recreational settings.



Song Therapists are trained in professional human relationships, self awareness, active listening, person centred thinking and group leadership. They offer a sensitive and responsible approach to music making in community and social care.

They understand the value of familiar well known music and song, helping people feel relaxed, safe and secure.

They know when it is right to introduce new forms of music too, encouraging cognition, exploration, learning, confidence, meaning, self worth and well being.
