An Introductory History of Musical Therapy

Abstract

Music therapy’s practice is relatively new in fame and the spotlight of medicine, but its practicality and results call for deeper studies that will allow the effectiveness to be made public in articles and better standardized for therapists and clients alike. Though no quantitative data is provided in the studies I saw, there is surely more on the horizon being done in the field to continue creating a credible legacy for music therapists and all the practice stands for.
