Examining remote music therapy services in early intervention: Feasibility and application

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide feasibility and application information on the nature of music therapy in a telehealth environment. We created a twelve-week telehealth music therapy programme with group and individual sessions that took place between August 2020 and February 2021. This report details (1) the telehealth music therapy services, (2) session design and examples and (3) perceived benefits and barriers of telehealth music therapy and technology. It includes guidance for early childhood professionals who may also want to interact musically with young children.
