I am a senior, and I'm doing my major capstone project on Music Therapy. This is perfect to use for my Capstone! Thank you!

Such a brilliant way of reaching to an understanding of the music therapy by comparing it to psychotherapy, it succeeded, thank you so much

But anyone who knows the former music preferences of a dementia sufferer can bring back healing memories. And many people with a strong musical sense can reach an almost unreachable soul through the right kind of music. I've seen it happen a number of times and I am not a music therapist, just someone who loves the elderly enough to sing them the songs that work for them in a way that reaches their soul.

Music really is the best medicine, I know when I’m having a bad day it calms me down.

I believe there is a misconception about Music Therapy, the thought is that you have to play it or make it to benefit from it. This is simply not true. It's a pain reliever, it can redirect thought, it can elevate moods, Open your curtains and put on a great playlist your whole life will change.I use YouTube videos as a grounding tool, a video grounds me in 10-15 seconds.
I can not read a note of sheet music, nor do I desire to.
The one hurdle I found in Music therapy is that Music is subjective and the enjoyment varies, you can't predict a playlist is going to appealing to the listener, I tell people to make their own playlist add everyday, they'll find or gravitate to their likes.

I have a theory on the Earworm, the song bug that replays in our heads, our bodies benefit from music, it's aware of this and it's looking for more music. Mho

Too many words about the Board and certificates (we've got you've got one) and almost nothing about what MT is, how it works, what therapeutic goals are valid and so on.
