About us
The Indian Association of Music Therapy is dedicated to advancing the therapeutic applications of music across various domains, including neuroendocrine and cardiovascular disorders, psychological conditions, child development, rehabilitation, and special education. Our focus extends to addressing issues such as drug abuse, pain management, frequent headaches, depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness, and promoting holistic growth in community settings.
We aim to pioneer research in Biomusicology, an emerging field that integrates biology and music to enhance human well-being. Committed to the growth of the music therapy profession, we strive to elevate education, training, professional standards, certification, and research to new heights for the betterment of society.

The Board convenes annually and as needed, with a minimum notice period of 15 days. Policies are established by an Assembly of Delegates, which includes permanent members and invited representatives from key societal sectors and affiliated organisations.
