What does a music therapist do, and what is their education like?
I enjoy music, and I'm thinking of going into healthcare. Someone suggested being a music therapist. Does anyone know what they do, or better yet is anyone a music therapist. What does their education consist of, and what kind of background in music do they need to have. What are some of the working conditions, and what is the salary outlook. Anyone who knows any of this information it would be greatly appreciated.

Recreational therapists, also referred to as therapeutic recreation specialists, provide treatment services and recreation activities to individuals with disabilities or illnesses. Using a variety of techniques, including arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings, therapists treat and maintain the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients.
