Impression of Music Therapy

I think that music therapy would be very beneficial for students. I believe since students learn in many different ways music can be a way to help students learn better. It can help students in communication and cooperation because singing alone and with groups can improve speech and large group cooperation. Music therapy can improve self-esteem and self confidence. It can also help students learn academic concepts. For example maybe if a student is having trouble remembering certain concepts a helpful song can be made up to assist them with it. It can help with cognitive, emotional, and physical abilities. The abilities learned in music therapy can be transferred to the life of the students. Music therapy can help equip students with the tools to be more successful in life.

  1. Heather,

    Great post---I hope that this has widened your perceptions of the possibilities of serving students with differentiated needs. I think that many classroom teachers can take the information provided by music therapists to help students in their classroom.

    Well done!

  2. Music could help a student become more successful. Communication is huge in our society, if you can learn to communicate better or from none to some that is a giant leap for a student.
