Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions in a therapeutic relationship by a qualified music therapist who has completed an officially approved music therapy program to achieve personalized therapeutic goals based on the health needs of individuals or groups. In other words, music therapy is a therapy approach aimed at improving and regaining functions and skills that have been impaired, lost or underdeveloped for various reasons through discipline-specific music-mediated interventions, as well as supporting rehabilitation and special education practices.

Anadolu University Health Sciences Institute Music Therapy Department, which started Turkey's first music therapy master program, aims to provide its students with the universal knowledge and skills required for scientific music therapy practices.
