Using Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.

Music therapy helps to:

  • promote wellness
  • manage stress
  • alleviate pain
  • express feelings
  • enhance memory
  • improve communication
  • promote physical rehabilitation.


Researchers in music therapy support its effectiveness in a wide variety of health care and educational settings

  • Music and Physical Relaxation: Music can promote relaxation of tense muscles, enabling you to easily release some of the tension you carry from a stressful day (or week).
  • Music has always been a great healer. In the Bible, we learn about how David played the harp to help ease his severe depression of King Saul .
  • Music is a significant mood-changer and reliever of stress, working on many levels at once.
  • Music was found to reduce the pain during dental procedures.
  • Playing music in the background while we are working, seemingly unaware of the music itself, has been found to reduce the stress.
  • Playing music in the background while we were sleeping also help to relax our brain
  • Other Benefits: Music has also been found to bring many other benefit such as lowering blood pressure, boost immunity, ease muscle tension, and many more. With so many benefits and such profound physical effects, it’s no surprise that so many are seeing music as an important tool to help the body in staying (or becoming) healthy
