Whether it’s simply listening to your current favorite song or the old hits from your youth or childhood, music brings back memories, lets you relax or dreams of distant places. Music connects, whether you just listen to it or play an instrument yourself.
But music is not just beautiful, it is also good for your health. It helps people to communicate with each other who otherwise struggle with problems or limitations. Music also helps with language acquisition, research has shown. In general, in the world of medicine, sounds, melodies and harmonies play an increasingly important role in the treatment of people with stroke, chronic diseases or dementia and even in coma patients.
Music therapists use findings and methods from various scientific disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience and musicology to help their clients in individual or group therapy.
