...Music has been very useful to humanity for many years. “Ancient Greek philosophers believed that music could heal both the body and the soul” (Music 2). Music therapy is not a much known profession but it has actually been around since World War II, when soldiers suffering from “shell shock” received music as a treatment. Many hospitals then began to hire musicians because music brought positive changes to the soldiers. Music therapy originated in 1940 when the very first music therapy degree program in the world was established by Michigan State University. In 1950 the United States formed the very first professional association of music therapists. By 1998 that association became known as the American Music Therapy Association. Music therapy...

...Marcus Altman Music Therapy 5/3/2017 MUS 161 VH Listening to Music Music therapy is a method that has been around as long as music itself. Music therapy is a type of treatment used in Naturopathy Medicine, the use of interventions to accomplish individual goals within a therapeutic relationship by a professional who has completed and approved music therapy program (American Music Therapy Association, 2014). Music therapy consists of a process where music therapists harness the many components of music in order to help clients improve their everyday physical and mental health. There are a few specific areas that music therapists help their clients with. These include cognitive functions, emotional development, motor skills, social skills,...

...10/31/15 Harmony Healing Introduction Music can be used as a form of psychiatric therapy, according to the article, “Music as Therapy”, written by Dunja Degmečić, Pavo Filaković, and Ivan Požgain (287). These authors published their conclusions in December 2005, in the journal International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music. Music therapy was studied on many people with mental, physical, and emotional disabilities, ranging through a variety of impairments such as anxiety to HIV/AIDS, and through these studies it appeared that mainly scientific and experimental research methods were used on these specific patients (Music as Therapy 291). One study, for example, used music to help troubled patients remember a time of happiness or relaxation, in order to comfort the troubled souls they now bare (Music as Therapy 292). Results demonstrated beneficial consequences that have subsequently helped to deem music therapy as effective. Music is now a vital part of the health industry and is widely used to support patient’s well-being, both psychically and mentally, because of its positive results (Music as Therapy 287).

...The Value of Music in Basic Education “Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.” Herbert Jeffrey Hancock, famed American musician, defined music’s transcendental nature very aptly. Music is now widely recognized as a learning medium, an educational tool, and a means of expressiveness of creativity. Modern education emphasizes the importance of using learning methods that will effectively teach children having a variety of learning needs. The old “one size fits all” education system is rapidly being overcome by a more flexible and welcoming system that caters to each child’s individual learning needs. Elementary education is the first level of learning children are exposed to so it is imperative that their foundation is concrete and long lasting. Contrary to rote memorization techniques of the past, modern teaching techniques let children learn at their own pace. In some cultures inclusion of music as a learning element from an early age is not an alien concept at all, e.g. in ancient Indian, Chinese, and even African American cultures. It has been a part of everyday cultural and religious learning for young children. In his paper “The History and Development of Multicultural Music Education as Evidenced in the Music Educators Journal, 1967-1992”, Terese M. Volk sheds light on how music educators were initially encouraged to adopt a multicultural music perspective and include all kinds of music in their curriculum. The paper describes in detail the struggle...

...The Use of Music Therapy on Stroke Victims When normal blood flow to the brain fails, a stroke occurs, there are more than 780,000 strokes every year in the United States causing more serious long-term disabilities than any other disease that number is expected to increase in the coming years. (Know Stroke). While preventing strokes is obviously a goal, the development of successful rehabilitation strategies is equally important. Music therapy has shown promise as a way to help stroke victims recover a variety of lost functionality. In this paper I will be describing the beneficial effects that music has on stroke victims. There are two main types of stroke ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke occurs when blood vessels are blocked, usually by a clot. This accounts for four in five strokes. Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a broken or leaking blood vessel in the brain (NIH). The effects of a stroke vary by its type, severity and location within the brain. A stroke may affect only one side of the body or part of one side. It can cause cognitive deficits, muscle weakness or paralysis. A stroke in the right half of the brain can cause visuospatial issues, impaired judgment and behavior, along with short-term memory loss. A stroke in the left half of the brain can cause speech and language problems, slow and cautious behavior, as well as memory problems. A stroke in the cerebellum can cause abnormal reflexes, balance problems, and dizziness, nausea, or vomiting (Office on...

[doctor of osteopathy] degrees and by their allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses) to a holistic healthcare system by integrating CAM modalities such as acupressure, guided imagery, humor, massage, meditation, therapeutic touch/healing touch, prayer and arts in general into their profession. This paper explores a CAM and holistic treatment/healing modality, Mantra Therapy, that conforms to three types of CAM as defined by the United States government agency NCCAM...

Since musical features are present in regular communication it makes it easier to integrate it into therapy sessions by exaggerating the musical features that are naturally present.

...with their peers, and many struggle with developmental delays such as speech. Autistic children will often be less responsive to their caregivers than children without the disorder. In the research article by Tong &Brereton two important areas of difficulty for children with ASD is the ability to speak clearly, and the lack of skills needed to play and have an imagination (2010). Children with autism are very matter of fact, and rarely understand any metaphors. They may also be ritualistic and have compulsive behaviors. The cause and effect of ASD is still unknown, many researchers believe there are biological and genetic factors that play a role (Tong, Brereton, 2010). Since ASD as a behavioral disorder, can autism be cured? Will children who are diagnosed with the disorder live with the same delays and rituals as they did as a child? After reviewing many journals, I have failed to find any evidence of cures; I have however come across different therapy’s in there preliminary phases. Music and dog therapy are being used across the country. Gold, Wingram and Elefant explain in their article that music helps people who are non-verbal interact without the use of words. (Gold et al., 2006) Children are able to make social exchanges through body movements and eye-contact during music therapy. This is very important because most children with ASD have no idea how to communicate feelings or have any concept of the feelings of others, they are said to lack a sixth sense (2006). The...

European Journal of Adapted Physical Activity, 3(2), 29- 36. Retrieved from: http://eds.b.ebscohost.com/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=a73e5036- 0d8e-4cc4-97c5-ec0c3cbd1e4a%40sessionmgr115&vid=32&hid=104 Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short term hippotherapy on functional gait changes in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Participants were two boys (ages 12 and 13) with spastic diplegia and a girl (14 yrs) with athetoid CP. Single-subject (ABA) design was used to determine quantitative changes in functional gait parameters (velocity, stride length, and cadence) following three weeks of hippotherapy. The two boys demonstrated improvement in stride length and gait velocity without sustained improvement in cadence. There was increase in stride length and cadence, but most noticeable improvements in velocity for the girl. The results indicated that it is possible that short-term hippotherapy may improve functional gait in children with cerebral palsy Second Quantitative Study Galli, M., Cimolin, V., Valente, E., Crivellini, M., Ialongo, T., Albertini, G.

...Kathryn Henry Vocal Pedagogy Term Paper 4/27/14 Is it Locked?: The Study of the Temporomandibular Joint and its Effects on Vocal Production In this research paper, I will discuss the temporomandibular joint and its effects on vocal production. The paper begins with a definition of what the temporomandibular joint is, where it sits in the skull, and what its functions are. Following this section will be disorders and treatments of disorders that one may encounter involving the temporomandibular joint. Finally, I will discuss how temporomandibular joint disorders can negatively affect a singer’s vocal production. The Temporomandibular Joint, or TMJ, is a joint located in front of one’s ears on each side of the face. ‘Temporo’ refers to the temple, the bone in the side of one’s head, and ‘mandibular’ refers to the mandible. The joint connects the mandible to the bone on the side of the head. The TMJ allows the mandible to move up and down as well as back when chewing, talking, or yawning. As the mouth opens, the rounded edges of the mandible, called condyles, glide along the socket of the temporal bone. As the mouth closes, the condyles slide back into their original resting positions. The TMJ is a ginglymo-arthrodial joint, meaning that the joint allows forward and backward movements, ginglymoid, as well as gliding movements within narrow limits, arthrodial.The TMJ has a combination of hinging and sliding motions, making this joint among the most complicated of the human...

COMPREHENSIVE EXAM 2 Section I: Introduction Statement of the Problem Although 60% of African Americans in the United States have stated that they would want hospice care when they are dying (AARP, 2003), they only comprise 8% of all hospice enrollees (NHPCO, 2007), despite the fact that they represent 13% of the total population in this country (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). In fact, hospice care in this nation has always been underutilized by African Americans (Connor, Elwert, Spence,...

...traumatic for children and adolescents, often involving separation from their families, placement changes, and a sense of instability. These challenges can have profound effects on their mental health, increasing the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Research consistently shows that youth in foster care are disproportionately affected by suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to their peers not in foster care (Leathers et al., 2019; Jones et al., 2020). Traditional intervention approaches may not adequately address the complex needs of this population. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative strategies to prevent suicide among children and adolescents...

...They have been found to stimulate the brain organ and to help regain some memories. It has also been discovered that they can bring language and speech back into the service users’ life who struggles to speak. (Wergerer 2013) The Elderly: Therapies like dance movement, drama and art when used recreationally can help improve the positivity, physical and mental health of the elderly social care service users. Engagement with art therapies can further the emotional progression and psychological well-being of these individuals. (Zeltzer et al 2003) The elderly can enjoy the arts and being creative just as much as service users younger than them. In art for example, water colour painting can be used as a more mature version and method of paining rather than finger painting which can be used for younger service users. Water colour painting is more complex and more of a challenge. Young children: There is so much evidence now-a-days about how children’s brains develop and the effect of creativity and the arts on this...
