What is Music Theraphy?


The applied use of music to
measurably improve people's lives by
assisting them in making positive life
changes
Functional and scientific application
of music by a trained music therapist
to enhance an individual's social,
emotional, educational, and
behavioral development.

Why?
Music with a strong beat can
stimulate brainwaves to resonate in
sync with the beat, with faster beats
bringing sharper concentration and
more alert thinking,
a slower tempo promoting a
calm,meditative state
Breathing and heart rate

How?
1. Take notice of how listening to various
types of music and nature sounds with or
without music can help you relax.
2. If you play an instrument, record a piece of
music that you find relaxing. Then listen to the
tape when you need to relax.
3. Listen to relaxing background music at work or
during lunch break. Add some body stretching
at the same time. This also works just before
going to sleep.
