Music Theraphy

Music has a profound effect on humans. It has the power to relax, excite, to terrify and to bore, and most people have a clear idea of what they like and what they detest!Music therapy is the use of music to help restore, maintain and improve health and well being on a physical, physiological, emotional and spiritual level.A music therapist will use a number of different approaches and techniques, including, listening to music, the use of the voice i.e. singing, playing instruments, moving to music etc.Music therapy is used on a wide variety of clients but will often include working with children and adults with disabilities and special needs and those with emotional and behavioural problems. It can be used to great effect with the visually impaired and even with the deaf, who sense the music through vibration
