Choosing instruments for music therapy

In music therapy, an instrument acts as a mediator: it makes movement perceptible, supports listening and opens a space for communication.

An effective instrument should offer a clear response even to the smallest movement. Predictable sound provides reassurance, while a varied timbre invites exploration and personal choice.

It is useful to combine melodic, rhythmic and vibrational instruments. Shared stations and removable instruments make it easy to move from individual work to group interaction without interrupting the activity.

The GITRÈ Therapy range brings together manufacturing expertise and observation of real use: accessible forms, recognisable materials and sounds that support presence, attention and reciprocity.
