With more than 30 years experience of using music to reach children of all abilities, we experience every day the profound impact of music, including how music can be used in early childhood special education. Last year NPR’s
Talk of the Nation
featured a discussion with licensed music therapists who use music to treat stress and speech disorders. In addition to highlighting personal experiences in practicing music therapy, these music therapists discussed the latest research that showed music therapy can:
Decrease anxiety levels in cancer patients and people with heart disease
Improve quality of life in cancer patients and patients at the end of life
Reduce heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure
Help people who have lost expressive language communicate through singing
