Abstract

[Extract]
Music can powerfully affect our moods and energy levels and can be used as a
therapeutic tool for conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social phobia. It can also be used to treat or alleviate symptoms of neurological disorders, such as memory loss from dementia, mobility problems from Parkinson’s disease, and the inability to speak following a stroke (nonfluent aphasia). How is this possible? What are the ingredients of music that give it the capacity to affect people from all around the world and all walks of life and that make music a valuable tool for treating neurological disorders? Understanding these ingredients has been a long-standing ambition for scientists and music therapists who want to know why music engages us so powerfully and how it can trigger processes of recovery from brain injury and neurological disease.
