Document Summary
Music therapy is a discipline in which credentialed professionals (mta) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Essentially, they work with a client to meet a healthcare goal. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains. Music therapy aims to develop potentials and/or restore functions of the individual so that he or she can achieve better intra-and inter personal integration and, consequently, a better quality life through prevention, rehabilitation or treatment. In the past, it was a tradition in western cultures to maintain that music and health (physiological as well as psychological) were closely related. A string produces a tone by vibrating at a specific speed, according to the equation: speed of vibration (string) = pitch/sound. Pythagoras measured mathematical proportions between tones and intervals, as produced by a string.
