Music Therapy in Bogotá with Monica Quiroga: Emotional, Cognitive and Therapeutic Benefits of Music

My work as a music therapist has been developed mainly through projects with older adults, where music and artistic experiences become a bridge to strengthen motor, emotional and cognitive abilities. In these spaces we work on motivation, joy, memory, feeling useful and connecting with others, promoting overall wellbeing.

One of the most meaningful experiences has been intergenerational work, where young people actively participate by sharing and learning from the knowledge and life experience of older adults. This exchange not only enriches both generations but also contributes deeply to the construction of their life projects, creating authentic human connections based on respect, creativity and art.

Through clinical music therapy, I accompany patients and their families throughout the hospitalization process, offering human and therapeutic support that helps improve their quality of life. Through live music applied with clear therapeutic objectives, it is possible to support the regulation of vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation and emotional state.

Conscious presence and appropriate musical intervention help create containment, relief and wellbeing during moments of high vulnerability.

In the field of education, I integrate music therapy as a tool for recognizing and experiencing emotions within the learning process. I accompany children and young people in discovering concepts based on their interests, promoting creativity as the central axis of their holistic development. Music becomes a path to strengthen identity and support the creation of their life projects.

Music therapy is a deep encounter with another person's humanity. It is about listening beyond words, recognizing each story, emotion and need with respect and compassion. Through music, memories are awakened, pain is soothed, connections are built and a safe space is created where each person can feel seen, heard and supported.

I firmly believe in the transformative power of art as a path for healing, learning and growth, and in music as a universal language that connects us with the most essential part of our being. Accompanying these processes is a privilege that I carry out with sensitivity, commitment and heart.

I invite you to experience music therapy sessions in Bogotá with Monica Quiroga, where the process unfolds with deep respect for each person’s story, needs and stage of life.

Music therapy is a profound human encounter where music embraces, accompanies and transforms. Through sound, emotions, memories and connections emerge, allowing people to heal, learn and grow. Each session becomes a safe space where every person can feel heard, valued and respected, honoring their story and essence.
