What I Learned:
- Music therapy is said to "express what words cannot" with extreme emotions.
- It is considered to be a "relative" of psychoanalysis, traditional, on-the-couch therapy.
- Music therapy can "promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain and express feeling.
- Music therapy doesn't have to be wordless. With our without words, music therapy has the same effect.
- Abigail Peace, a music therapist, has said that through music therapy sessions, a severely disabled patient can show extreme improvement
- Unofficial music therapy, just creating music, has been known to improve disabilities, too. Shell-shocked WWI and WWII veterans have shown improved morale after hearing music played at the vetran homes they were in.
- I found a website (www.musictherapy.org) that can help me later on in this blog process.

Hi Gracie! I have always wondered how music affects people and now I know that it is different for every person. Great Job! BTW: love the colorful font.
ReplyDeleteYah Gracie! nice post! I did not know that music without words can have a "therapy" effect on us. I also did not know that even creating music can help disabilities. Thats really cool!
ReplyDeleteYour blog post is really good!! I also researched music therapy and how music can replace medicine for some people. I agree with music can do things words cannot. I think you found some great information here.
