Positive music therapy obviously helps people. Sound therapy is well studied, positive emotions helping healing is well documented, so combining this has to have a positive effect.

I love that Ohio University is doing this, but do you think that the patients just like visitors or the music is really helping? I think it’s a little bit of both.

You quote Steele saying “Music is embedded all over our brain” which fascinates me. Though I have not done music therapy as such I have noticed that many students show a general improvement in performance and behavior when they start studying an instrument. Personally I think that participating in music – even at a very elementary level – should be encouraged amongst students of all kinds for this reason – not just ADHD, autistic or with emotional problems. Certainly in the UK this is against the trend in education which tends to be increasingly vocationally focused.

This is a very intriguing idea. I work with ADHD and Autistic children. More and more studies are revealing that the arts, and in particular, music, are able to have a positive impact in the therapy of ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) children. I personally have not started using this approach in my practice, but it is becoming pretty clear that it has merit. I’ll be looking into it further. Thank you for the information.
