Matt is an RMT and head of clinical practice at Noro music therapy in western Sydney. Most of his work as a therapist has involved individual clinic-based music therapy sessions, although he also has experience working with military and emergency services veterans and in schools. A key part of his current role is overseeing a team of RMTs as they write music therapy programs for different populations and settings.
In this episode, Joe and Matt discuss how Matt views the role of music in the therapeutic journey, as well as the relationship between community and music therapy into the future.
