8:17 this makes sense. I always embedded my speech in music when working with little ones and they immediately positively reacted.

[@derekcastillo6234]

This is amazing! For my research project, im looking at the effects of music therapy for mental health and there was this one scholarly article that summarized many important points made in this video so it was really cool making those connections!

[@jasminesoto64]

I am in music therapy school and was given this video as a reference. Love it! Very fond of the cricket’s neurons poppin’ and lockin’ to James Brown’s, I Feel Good. I have been using this tune in my Body Rhythms and Drums Alive classes for years and the response has ALWAYS been phenomenal. Classic- crickets dancing. Great video… Thank you!

I sang with a polka band and we performed at a Parkinson’s group. A wheelchair bound man that had never gotten up to walk in 3 years danced!

Noise is amazing, one should know how to use it for each individual and be able to connect with them with the help of rhythm. Controlled vibrations, as our world is vibrating at all levels!💕🎸🎶✨

[@MsPsalm139]

But I don't think that all vibrations are healthy for the body---it seems that when a vibration is harmonious with a person the noise has reached a musical stage for that person and ceases to be noise. I see this with my child who suffered a stroke and absolutely has to have music on at all waking hours. She rejects noise, even vocally ( cars, electronic feedback, even some classical style of music) but her preferred music is welcomed always.

[@sufisafavi5531]

@@MsPsalm139 Of course, as it's more complicated than that but I believe we're on the right path to understand our mind and body much better than earlier. So sorry to hear about her stroke! What's amazing with music is that it affects us at many levels at the same time and we're just begining to understand it at a deeper level. May I ask how old she is and what kind of music she enjoys? If you don't mind of course. 🙏🎶

[@selfcaretoolbox3396]

This is so amazing! I love it!

[@jacquelinehoward1734]

That was absolutely wonderful!! Thank you!!!

[@yllim684]

The major part of music therapy is to let you have a tactile feeling which is created by the vibration sound. Yes this technology is now available and patterned . First use in Headphone. Please checkup.....!

[@Darthflips]

Music therapists are not highly trained musicians. Lol. She's really playing herself up. Music definitely has its place in therapy but she doesn't have "the patients brain at her finger tips." Lol. Another paid Ted Talk.
