Music is audiable emotion.

Just watching this video is so UPLIFTING! HOW CAN ONE NOT BE MOVED by it?! More like what condition DOESN'T MUSIC heal? Thank you for this, it is exquisite. C= Namaste.

Wonderful collection of Quotes and images.

@virginia oman Obviously it is outdated, it was created in 2007 and published in 2008. What is your point in stating that? I think people who watch the video are intelligent enough to discern whether practices are outdated or not. This was merely a project done while I was at college. At that time there were little to no videos about music therapy published online. My intent was to generate intrigue, promote discussion and address misconceptions about music therapy. So many people have been touched by these videos if I were only able to publish all the emails that I have received it would blow you away. Music Therapy is a constantly evolving field. It maintains its legitimacy through quantitative and qualitative data obtained through clinical observations. Anyone who is interested in learning more about music therapy can find information at the AMTA website.

They omitted that LONG before this....the goddess worshiping world recognized the healing powers of music.

Great stuff but outdated. We know so much more now than when this video was made.

great this good video

can i become a music therapist if i just do violin as a main or is only voice piano guitar used for therapy?

Why is this the first thing to come up under 'Music Therapy'. Bunch of muppets.

Music Therapy is the intentional use of music to achieve a specific goal (often behavioral). If you're really interested in exploring the idea of becoming a music therapist three books that I would recommend are This Is Your Brain On Music, Musicophelia, and Music As Medicine (get this one with a box of tissues). American Music Therapy Association will have resources to help as a guide in beginning your education, internship, and board certification.

Some schools offer a LOT of scholarships, financial aid, plus there's student loans. Don't let expenses hold you back from your passion! I'm getting my Bachelors right now, then my Masters from Maryville University, who's tuition is rather expensive, but with so many scholarships they gave me, along with financial aid I'm paying almost nothing =] Although, to get my masters (and then phD maybe?) I will probably take out some loans.

There's a lot of great Music Therapy schools, but take care to look at which one you go to, because most of the schools take a look at Music Therapy from a very music performance perspective, which makes no sense at all to me because music therapy is a -healthcare- profession. Maryville University teaches music therapy as a health profession, it's even under the health professions field, and we take a lot of classes with nurses and doctors.

I don't know about other schools, but at Maryville University there is no theory test necessary to be accepted, they teach all the theory you need at school, and you need to pass the classes before you can graduate and become certified, but you don't need to know any upon admittance. They might test you on it to see which class to go into though, but that's no big deal. The test is to help you go into the right courses, not fail you or anything.

At Maryville University (the school I'm a sophomore at) we are encouraged to be proficient in as many instruments as possible, but it's only required to be proficient in voice, piano, and guitar. (You have to take a proficiency test before you graduate) and you choose any instrument to major in, even your voice. You also are considered proficient in percussion, as you take a class on it, but there is no testing. Ukulele is popular for MTs, and REALLY easy.

It depends on how much education you have generally. Bachelors don't make as much as Majors, and phDs make quite a bit more than both. I'll be honest, I've never met a filthy rich Music Therapist, but I've also never met a Music Therapist that is bad off. I read that on average a Music Therapist's starting salary is somewhere between 30-50K a year. I met a doctorate who confessed she made close to 100K though. But, to me, I'm just happy helping people =] (though I understand, you gotta eat!)

Incredibly real, and it's a growing field. There's a big chance you or someone you know will run into one of us later.

Sadly, there's only so much you can do when the vast majority of people, and even other doctors, think we're all just a bunch of hippies singing "kumbaya" in a circle together...

im at a community college so they dont really have any thing for it but im transferring soon. Go for it.

it really is this is something fairly new. keep an eye on it.

this is what i am looking to do

Writing a paper on this right now for my psychology degree... so far, empirically, music does seem to have an effect on "healing", although it seems to be limited to mindset of patients... it does not effect healing directly, but can facilitate a psychological state in the patient witch promotes calmness and ease - decreasing cortisol and other stress-related physiological effects - which can, in fact, aid in certain "healing" practices. I don't know, this field is so under-studied.

@TheVoicelesson what a douche !

@vanight Your question might be rhetorical, but in no way to offend I would suggest following your dreams and not let a mere test dictate your future.

@vanight I did recognize the language barrier, but in follow-up comments, my initial suspition was confirmed; the individual was 'placed' in music therapy and never by choice. Music Therapy takes a lot of commitment and pasion. One shouldn't just follow the path of MTx, but trek forward.

@vanight Music Therapy is much more than just 'Music & Counseling', and I would need more than a few sentences to explain why. I don't know what your current job is and couldn't tell you if you would make more or less than what you earn right now. I've just begun in the professionaly and I do quite well.

@bmoore326 I too have been looking for something meaningful to use passion for. I am interested in counseling and scored high for that type of profession using the Meyers Briggs test. Music Therapy is like combining Music and Counseling. I do have a more logistical question, does this profession pay enough to realistically one day stop my current profession and do it full time? I really have no no idea, and I doubt there is an public info about it.

@bmoore326 Based on the persons grammar and spelling, I think maybe they may have not expressed what they were really meaning; if that makes sense. Language barrier perhaps?

Come togetherrr.... right nowwww, Over Me.

I have been looking for something as a potential career change. I have taken personality tests, etc... that show counseling, clergyman, musician as being high on the list. I wonder if this might be the perfect combination of both for an ENFP?

@CMajor5 1 main instrument required (voice, piano or guitar) and proficiency in the other 2 mentioned. If you want to 'actually' do something with your musical talents, then music therapy is the way to go. Seriously look into it.

I am interested in becoming a music therapist! I find myself drawn to the idea. What kind of instruments do you need to play to be a music therapist? I only sing, and I am currently a vocal performance major.

@bmoore326 I expressed myself incorrectly, sorry. The Department of Music where I study, has few various specialities like Jazz Music, Liturgical Music or Music Theraphy. I attended the exam for Jazz Music, but I failed. Those, who failed exams for other specialities, were automatically accepted on Music Theraphy. I'm one of these students. So that's why I didn't appreciate it first, but the more I study it, the more I like and now after watching this video, I like it even more.

@Monicalia I don't understand. What didn't you appreciate? Maybe Music Therapy isn't for you if you are so willing to publicly state it.

I study music teraphy and must say, I didn't appreciate it, but now I'm really happy to say that I might be soon a qualified music teraphist.

USU has the best program in the country in music therapy

What is the name of the ending piano piece, please, someone? \

What does brainwashing "sound" like? LOLOLOL

@GigiSiuW I go to Duquesne University for music therapy. I love the program. Check it out!!

I can't wait to go to college this fall at Colorado State to study music therapy!

I wish college was less expensive for this kind of beautiful study

Thank you for posting this. It was very useful for me and creating my presentation for school. (I cited this too.) :) Music Therapy For The Win!

is this real????

Very inspiring!

Brillant video love the song x made me realize music is connecting us all.

@cullyvan What does brainwashing "sound" like? Maybe I can use that sound for Music Therapy? And yes some these students are 'hyped' about music therapy we like other sciences and therapies have to follow the scientific method to eliminate biasis, and are very open minded. We realize that Music Therapy cannot resolve all problems, and often times make referals to other therapists and professionals when such a time arises.

Ah, I see that in part 4, the video mentions the name of the piece. I guess since I'm a musician myself, I already knew that before the video said it. LOL! XD

If anyone is wondering what the name of the piano and cello piece is from 5:00 to 5:23, it's entitled "Memory" from the Broadway musical, "Cats."I'm having fun researching about music therapy for one of my projects in college, and this is a very informative video. Mind if I use it as one of my sources? It's brilliant! =)

I feel music therapy could go much further. Music from Great composeers could be further analysed, tested, and "prescribed" to some patients. Instead of bongos and xylophones.

I'd love to be a music therapist. I've got a grade 5 on both piano and guitar but haven't played for a while and i am currently studying psychology. Do you think it would be possible for me to become a music therapist?
