Most of us have experienced the depth that music can reach our souls. It can settle our mood, invigorate our senses, provide the backdrop to our life’s stories and move us to tears during that last scene in our favourite movie.
Did you know that music can also deeply affect the way a person walks? Talks? Expresses their feelings? Experiences pain? Not in just an everyday sense…Music can affect the ability to overcome challenges that hinder the way a person does these ordinary tasks, and help do it with ease and normalcy.
Music therapy is the purposeful use of music to assist those with physical, mental, emotional and cognitive challenges. You don’t need to be a musician. (That’s why you work with a music therapist!). You just need help reaching your goals, via the added bonus of a long revered form of joy. Music.
“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
― Oliver Sacks
