What is music therapy?
Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish
individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed music therapy
practitioner.
Music therapy is an established allied health profession under the CAM
(complimentary alternative medicine) title in which music is
used within a therapeutic relationship to address the
physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals.

• Ensures a standard of excellence in the development, implementation, and promotion
of accredited certification programs for music therapy
practice.

“Music after all is the background score to our lives, not merely surviving in our memory banks long after so many of our seemingly
stronger memories have faltered, but serving to remind us of who we were at a
given moment of our lives, where we were, what we dreamed of, what we
feared, and of course who we loved.”
~ Eddie Daniels ~Jazz clarinetist
“Music is the soundtrack of your life.”
~ Dick Clark ~Radio/Television Personality
“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No
matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”
~ Billy Joel ~Singer/Songwriter/Performer
Why music therapy?
Music activities serve as strong
motivators for enduring
participations in interventions that are designed to facilitate skill
strengthening and new skill
development that transfer readily to
family and community life.
David, Gfeller, & Thaut, 2008
Music therapy interventions are used to treat individuals who have varying needs for rehabilitation, restoration, and/or support to become fully integrated within their
environment.
Davis, Gfeller, & Thaut, 2008
Music therapy utilizes music as a non-invasive medium/environment in which the music therapist can
assess cognition, physical, and psychological functioning.
www.mtabc.org, 2012
Assessments in Music Therapy
Assessment provides the information that indicates
physical health, psychological health, independence,
meaningful relations, and ability to deal with the
environment. Evaluation of all this information is used to
design treatment interventions, set and revise treatment goals,
and determine treatment effectiveness at each stage of
the treatment process.

What Is Coherence?
“It [coherence] is the harmonious flow of information, cooperation, and order among the subsystems of a larger system that allows for the emergence of more
complex functions. This higher-order cooperation among the physical subsystems such as the heart, brain, glands, and organs as well as between the cognitive, emotional, and physical systems is an important aspect of what we
call coherence. It is the rhythm of the heart that sets the beat for the entire system. The heart’s rhythmic beat influences brain processes that control the
autonomic nervous system, cognitive functioning, and emotions, thus leading us to propose that it is the primary conductor system. By changing the rhythm of the heart, system-wide dynamics can be quickly and dramatically changed.”
Doc Childre, Founder HeartMath©System, LLCwww.heartmath.com, 2012
Why coherence?
Because we are RHYTHM.
We measure HR (heart rate), HRV (heart rate variability), RSA
(respiratory sinus arrhythmia), and BVP (blood volume pulse) to aid in the
therapeutic process. We do this because we embody rhythm in the
pulmonary rhythm of breathing, the cardio rhythm of the heartbeat, and the
circadian rhythm of sleeping and waking. The human body is a powerful
rhythmic convergence of multiple beats working together in the groove of life. We breathe, talk, eat, chew, sleep, wake, and move to a rhythm. We are
walking, talking, ticking, tocking polyrhythms or multiple beats.
Steven, 2012
The Humanistic Approach
Based on the holistic concept of self (an
individual’s consciousness of their identity), free will
(we all can choose our actions), and
unconditional positive regard (we are all unique,
valued, and respected).
When an individual is dealing with a disease, illness, or
injury, the mind, the body, and spirit are all engaged
in the healing process.
Methods in Music Therapy
Music is one of the few activities that involves
using the whole brain. It is intrinsic to all cultures and has surprising benefits not only for learning language,
improving memory and focusing attention, but also for physical coordination
and development.
Levitin, 2006

Medical Benefits of Music Therapy
Overall cardiovascular healtha. Increases blood flow & oxygenationb. Increases energy production enzyme stimulation which converts food to energyc. Decreases the risk of chronic disease like heart disease, high blood pressure, & cholesterol
Medical Benefits of Music Therapy
Physiologic benefits
a. Increases stroke volume
b. Increases healthy cholesterol while
decreasing unhealthy triglycerides
c. Increases overall immune health
Medical Benefits of Coherence
Neurologic benefitsa. Increases production of endorphins & other
neurotransmitters secreted by the brain & passed through CSFb. Regulates all 4 brain wave functioning (alpha, beta,
theta, delta)c. Bridges association areas for memories & creates association areas for new material
Case Study 1
“In less structured (musical) forms, such as…religious and spiritual music…take on a hypnotic quality that can induce
trance states. Just how music induces the trance is not known… This in turn causes a shift in brain-wave patterns,
easing us into an altered state between consciousness that may resemble the onset of sleep, or the netherworld between sleep
and wakefulness, or even a druglike state of heightened concentration coupled with increased relaxation of the
muscles.”
Levitin, 2008
Case Study 2
“When we experience music in the background, we passively hear and do not actively listen. …auditory processing is
entirely unconscious at this level – not just automatic, but wholly separate from the experience we associate with “me”.
Listening is led by anticipation. …”Give them time to chew on it.” [silence] It is much easier to switch to another channel, to
pop in a different sound.”
Jourdain, 1997
Case Study 3
“Music can be used effectively to reduce anxiety & enhance relaxation. Patients frequently report exacerbated breathing difficulties when experiencing stressful situations. Interventions, including elicitation of the relaxation response, social
support, and exploration of coping techniques for stress management are attempts to minimize stress’ impact on coronary artery disease and pulmonary
disease. The relaxation response involves a set of physiologic changes, including decreased heart and respiratory rate, decreased blood pressure, and lower oxygen consumption, and therefore can be successful in moderating physiologic distress, as well as decreasing anxiety (Medich et al., 1991).”
Mandel, S.E., 1996
“ Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all
words. " ~ Robert G. Ingersoll ~
(1833-1899)
“Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body
and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.”
~ Hal A. Lingerman, author ~
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed,
Soothes the mind and gives it rest,
heals the heart and makes it whole,
Flows from Heaven to the soul.”
