Music therapy is the use of music to ensure the wellbeing of the clients who are suffering from different problems. Every case is unique and requires a different approach, while one genre might suit a person very well, it might not be the best choice for another. It all varies from person to person.

The different forms of music can be emotional, psychological, enjoyable, spiritual etc. The decision of what kind of music will be used and how, is taken by the therapist after the diagnosis of the condition and the complete study of the person.

Studies have shown that listening to lively and pleasant music can lead to better moods and a generally happy state of mind. It is also a great tool in the formation of a good social life. Music is known to be one of the most popular conversation starters across the globe.

Music therapy can also be combined with the regular treatment for patients who have had a stroke. People who have had a stroke tend to be a lot more anxious, nervous, helpless and aimless. Music can enhance their condition by helping them maintain emotional and mental stability.

The modern forms of a therapeutic sound project were used after the world wars. People took to song and dance to socialise and keep themselves distracted. It became their stress buster.
