Music Therapy usually uses the style of the current edition of the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association for reference lists and citations. This is commonly abbreviated as APA style.  Here is an example of an article listed in a reference list as well as an example of parenthetical citation:

References

Solé, C., Mercadal-Brotons, M., Galati, A., & De Castro, M. (2014). Effects of group music therapy on quality of life, affect, and participation in people with varying levels of dementia. Journal of Music Therapy, 51(1), 103-125. doi:10.1093/jmt/thu003

When citing the article by Solé and the other authors listed above, use a parenthetical citation listing the first author’s name and the date (Solé et al., 2014).
