What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is a therapy that uses music to improve the patient's health and well-being. Stimulating the mind is essential since it is the operative centre where all the sensations and emotions that human beings perceive and express are processed, understood and brought together.

Music is a sensory experience that can activate all brain areas simultaneously. Therefore, it is useful in therapy because it triggers the functioning of the brain in the emotional, cognitive and physical sense. With new research emerging on Music Therapy, it has been shown to be useful in both rehabilitation, education, and wellness improvement programs.

This type of therapy is effective in treating certain disorders or improving the patient's quality of life, and acts in two ways: active (playing instruments, singing, playing music) and receptive (using music to induce states of relaxation). Other techniques and artistic forms are also used simultaneously with music, such as drama, dance, or painting.

How does Music Therapy work?

The Music Therapist works on different aspects of the person, as they can be:

  • Sensory aspects: working on the ability to respond to sensory stimuli received.
  • Motor aspects: coordination, balance and mobility of the patient.
  • Cognitive aspects: memory, learning, imagination or attention.
  • Social-emotional aspects: intelligence and control of emotions, as well as emotional expression or self-knowledge of one's own emotions.

Since music is an accessible and attractive stimulus, it has a great influence on the patients and they receive the therapy in a pleasant way. Music therapy professionals select and apply music in a way that provides psychological and physical benefits.

This type of therapy works perfectly for solving psychological problems, rehabilitating drug addicts, reducing pain in terminal illnesses, improving self-esteem, or treating learning difficulties.

Reasons to use Music Therapy

Music is a basic function of our brain. Already at an early age, mothers tend to calm their children with "lullabies" (lullabies). This shows that the brains of young children already tolerate music and its benefits very well.

Music entertains our bodies. Our bodies are naturally entertained by music, and rhythmic movements are easy to make. When we listen to music, it enters our brain to process it, but it also has an effect on our motor system. That's why music therapists use this tool to help people who have had a stroke regain mobility.

We have physiological reactions when we listen to music. Every time you accelerate your breathing, your heart rate increases and you feel the music running down your spine. Music therapy can help stimulate a person who is in a coma or it can help a conscious person relax.

Babies and children respond to music. Any parent will know that at an early age it is natural for children and babies to respond to musical stimuli. From an early age they dance and enjoy musical sounds. On the other hand, children learn easily through art and music, making it a great educational tool.

Music penetrates emotions. Since music stimulates the amygdala, it can make you feel sad, happy, energetic, motivated, and so on. The way music accesses emotions is very useful for music therapists.

Music helps improve learning. Many children's teachers use methods such as learning the alphabet or colours through songs. Music is effective for memorizing and evoking past memories.

Music therapy is a non-invasive and motivating therapy. We all like music, and this is one of the most important reasons why Music Therapy works.
