Maybe you've heard about music therapy, but you do not know exactly the benefits of it. Through music therapy, sounds are dosed and consciously used to calm physical and emotional problems, the most noticeable effect being: relaxation.
When applying music therapy, what is sought is to recover the lost harmony when a calm and healthy person becomes tense or sick. Generally human beings are not afraid of music, which allows us to permeate our resistances in order to connect with ourselves. In short: what is sought is to overcome tensions through music and resume our own rhythm of life in body and soul.
First the therapist must investigate what the sonorous equivalence of the person is, find out how his health is, the points to improve, the music he has heard in recent days, the reactions that these melodies provoke and which one he identifies with. Find out what he was listening to in his childhood, his favorite sounds and his favorite song; After obtaining all this information, he begins to make compositions based on his personality to deal with the problems. It is possible to perform music therapy in a large group if the facilitator finds a grouped sound match, with which everyone feels comfortable.
In what way are rhythms, instruments and letters chosen?
To choose the rhythms, the instruments and the lack or presence of letters, will depend on each individual and that person will be able to dance or sing if they prefer. There are people who are disturbed by listening to a violin or can not stand hearing a soprano; then in these cases other alternative paths are investigated. The main thing is that connect with your need and that music is the means to overcome and understand it. Personalized is very useful, but using the melodies of the radio or using karaoke will help in the same purpose, as long as they adapt, over time the person feels revitalized by recovering their own compass.
