AbstractAs a way of staying current with electronic music technologies, this article describes four categories of these technologies and provides evaluative considerations to help clinicians efficiently and effectively understand potential applications. Through vignettes of music therapy practice, this article will elaborate on the clinical use of these software, stand-alone products, electronic keyboards, and iPads/tablets categories. Specific therapist action steps for evaluating the usefulness of these products are provided for each category. A summary section details nine considerations for clinicians when determining which resources could be used in their work.
