Music Therapist (Ang Mo Kio)
The Early Intervention for Children (EIC) Services helps equip children with motor, communication, social, self-help and cognitive skills. THK EIC Centre involves structuring classes around small groups encompassing early childhood special education, social work and therapy support services to stimulate their adaptive functioning and school readiness skills.

Role:
Music Therapists provide clinical, evidence-based interventions by utilizing creative musical experiences to address the complex social, emotional, and physical needs of a diverse client population. Rather than providing musical instruction, the therapist facilitates a shared musical relationship to achieve specific therapeutic outcomes tailored to the client's clinical pathology and personal development goals. Working across various settings with individuals or groups, the role involves supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, behavioral disorders, and communication difficulties, while fostering deeper self-insight and improved interpersonal relating through the medium of music-making.
Responsibilities:
- Providing music therapy sessions;
- Assessing the client's needs;
- Planning, reviewing and assessing therapy sessions to monitor effectiveness and to aid the planning of subsequent sessions;
- Actively participating in sessions through music-making, singing and listening;
- Encouraging clients to take part in the session, and supporting them by responding musically;
- Encouraging clients to use a range of accessible musical instruments (such as percussion) and their own voice to express themselves;
- Helping clients explore the world of sound and to create a musical language of their own;
- Improvising with music as a reaction to what the client is communicating in order to enhance the individual nature of the relationship;
- Supporting the client's creative development and facilitating positive changes in their behaviour and well-being;
- Helping the client develop an increased self-awareness;
- Assessing the musical and non-musical behaviours of the client;
- Writing and maintaining case notes and reports;
- Collaborating with the transdisciplinary team to better support the client's needs;
- Reporting progress to families, carers, relevant agencies or professional staff;
- Maintaining musical instruments and music therapy equipment.
Music therapists working in a clinical setting may spend a lot of time liaising with professional colleagues engaged in the care and development of their clients.
