How are your communication skills?
Having excellent communication skills is essential for music therapists to have. You need to communicate in written and verbal form, read body language, and actively listen to your patients. Describe your communication skills and give an example of how you communicate.
"My communication skills are excellent. I feel communication skills are one of the most important aspects of this job. I actively listen to my patients and watch their body language to see if music therapy works for them. I explain to the patient and their family members what their treatment plan entails and must communicate with other team members to be on the same page. I also document my findings in the patient's medical chart, so it is important that I have excellent written communication skills."
