Therapeutic music in action
“Music’s value lies in its inherent ability to enhance connection and communication, as well as to benefit physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing… Therapeutic music is live acoustic music, played or sung, and specifically tailored to [an] immediate need. It is an art based on the science of sound… [and] uses the inherent healing elements of live music and sound to enhance the environment…, making it more conducive to the human healing process.” — NSBTM website, National Standards Board for Therapeutic Musicians
