Music therapy is a approach that emphases the musical elements of Hip Hop, R&B and Jazz music as its specific rhythm, dynamics, and expression. The treatment goals are related to behavioral change, anger management, stress regulation, as well as improving healthy self-esteem, self-confidence, and expression of emotion. This class aims to provide a step-by-step approach that encourages artists to apply music in their everyday lives. The approach is described within the context of forensic psychiatry, but is useful for most youth for whom Hip Hop, R&B and Jazz comprise an important part of their musical interests.
