MUSIC THERAPY

 MUSIC THERAPY ( BY ISABEL G.)

To begin with, music is important to most people's lives. It is used at different times, for example to relax, in a concert, in celebrations, to dance, and as a therapeutic tool. Moreover, music therapy is used in medicine for the treatment of psychological problems, attention deficit, dementia, or autism. Below  I am going to we describe some of these treatments.

Firstly, Jonas was born with a diagnosis of autism; thanks to music he has improved verbal communication and social contact. Secondly, Bobby had a difficult childhood; when he joined a drumming group, it decreased your frustration and improved your self-esteem. Thirdly, Theresa suffers from dementia and is often aggressive when she becomes disorientated; the music relaxes her and improves her intellectual and social skills.

 In conclusion, the music makes us feel good and it can improve our cognitive and social ability. You don't need to be a superstar to enjoy music because it involves communication, interaction, listening, sharing, and turn-taking.
