The application of music is considered as an excellent communication channel that connects the therapist and the user and establishes a relationship of cooperation and partnership. In this way, it establishes and improves the user's attitude towards the therapeutic process and towards the therapeutic goals which are trying to be achieved. It has been used for centuries in certain therapeutic processes, but as a separate profession it has come to life in the last fifty years. Music and its elements are used as an intervention in the medical, educational and everyday environment, in working with individuals, groups, families or communities that seek to achieve a better life and improve their mental and / or physical condition (Breitenfeld, Majsec Vrbanić, 2011). The goals of music therapy in each of these areas are different and depend on the approaches of doctors or music therapists who apply them. As a huge step towards the progress of music therapy in Croatia, in 2016 the first Postgraduate Specialist Study of Creative Therapy in Croatia was launched and gave the opportunity to finally regulate their professional status in Croatia for people who have previously worked in music therapy field. The aim of this paper is to present music therapy as a method of therapy, research into the application of music in different fields and the connection between music therapy and the profession of social work. Speaking of music therapy, as an alternative method of providing help and support in treatment, is it possible for social workers with their knowledge, professional training and continuous development to be the bearers of certain alternative methods of providing assistance in working with users such as music therapy?
