About

First off... What is music therapy?

Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program (American Music Therapy Association).

​

Basically, music is used to treat goals that are not musical! Goal areas can include improved self-esteem, socialization, cognition, attention, speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, and rehabilitation, along with many more.

A Little about the Owner (and MMT!)

My name is Sarah Mosden, and I am the owner, founder, and head music therapist of Mosden Music Therapy, LLC! I became a board-certified music therapist in February 2021. I hold a masters degree in music therapy from Temple University, as well as a bachelor's degree in music education from the University of Miami. I completed my music therapy internship at an arts-focused childcare center in New Jersey (now under new management). I originally became interested in the field of music therapy after working as a music specialist at Sunrise Day Camp; a full-summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings. 

 

I started my private practice venture in early 2021, shortly after I received my board certification. Not being interested in many of the jobs available at the time, I began reaching out to a handful of schools and facilities to set up (what I thought at the time would be) short-term contract work. I quickly came to realize that many of these centers, especially those for children with diverse needs, were severely lacking in high-quality and interactive music programs provided by a music therapist. I decided to continue my outreach to multiple centers in the area in an effort to provide the best possible music programs to as many children as possible. My ultimate goal is to provide affordable and accessible music therapy services to children in greater Philadelphia area.
