Discover The Benefits Of Therapeutic Sound Project

By Lilia Moody


A therapeutic sound project is conducted by a professional therapist who is trained in the field of providing music therapy to the people. It is the use of music to better the health of a person in different ways. Different people have different preferences when it comes to music. One genre of music can heal someone, and another can heal someone else. There is no fixed treatment.

The different aspects of music like physical, emotional, spiritual etc. Are used in the course of music therapy to heal the client. There are different ways in which music can heal a person, he can either listen to it, play it, move to it, or even sing it. It is all subjective to the nature of the client and the approach that the therapist takes. All these factors are kept into consideration and then a treatment course is planned for the client.

It is proven that listening to lively and pleasant music can uplift the mood of a person. It is of great help in the improving the social life too. Music is said to be one of the most effective conversation starters and the base to great friendships.

Adolescents tend to go through a number of mood swings and disorders. Music therapy is an effective tool in treating the same. The kind of music that one listens to can also shape his/her identity.

People who go through serious illnesses like a stroke that changes their lives completely also take to music therapy to maintain a calm state of mind. They try to control their anxiety, nervousness and depression with the use of music. It is proven that people who avail the facilities of a music therapist along with the regular treatment that they are going through, are generally in a better state of mind than the ones who don't. They tend to be a lot more optimistic towards life.

As already proven time and again, music has many mood uplifting abilities. This makes it very effective in the treatment of depression. It hinders the production of the stress hormone- Cortisol. This leads to a happy and a pleasant state of mind. It also allows the person to be emotionally free, and makes him a lot more expressive.

To develop the attention span of the children, some people introduce them to music therapy. When parents notice that their child has problems with communication, behaviour and other social skills they are taken to a music therapist. Children in the course of a music therapy are encouraged to play an instrument so that they can focus better and also develop an additional skill.

Music therapies as you know it, was started in the previous century after the world wars. People would find it peaceful to listen to music and dance to it. But its roots can be traced back to the time of Greek gods, it is believed that the first therapeutic sound project was used by Apollo, where he would cure people diagnosed with mental related disorders by singing a song to them.
