INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION OF MUSIC THERAPY
1.
According to the Canadian Association for Music Therapy
(CAMT), music therapy is defined as the skilful use of music and
musical elements by an accredited music therapist. Music therapy
combines music with the personal qualities of the therapist in order to
rehabilitate, maintain, and improve the lives of persons with emotional,
cognitive, social, spiritual, psychological and physical needs.
2.
Music possesses the following characteristics which makes it
a valuable therapeutic tool. Music reflects the entire spectrum of human
emotions, it is a form of expression that is nonverbal; it can reduce
anxiety and tension, it can help induce sleep, provide tools for pain
management, and it promotes relaxation. Music can speak on
emotional, intellectual and physical levels, and can break down cultural
and/or linguistic barriers while uniting people in a common experience.
DEFINITION TO AUTISM,
ALZHEIMER/DEMENTIA AND
DYSLEXIA
Autism is a mental condition, present from early childhood,
characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming
relationships with other people and in using language and
abstract concepts.
The term 'dementia' describes a set of symptoms which can
include loss of memory, mood changes, and problems with
communication and reasoning. These symptoms occur when
the brain is damaged by certain diseases and conditions,
including Alzheimer's disease.
Dyslexia is a disorder that involve difficulty in learning to read
or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not
affect general intelligence.
( AUTISM,
ALZHEIMER)
Music therapy can stimulate individuals to reduce negative
and/or self-stimulatory responses and increase participation
in more appropriate and socially acceptable ways.
-
(AUTISM, ALZHEIMER)
Music therapy can enable those without verbal language to
communicate, participate and express themselves nonverbally. Music therapy also assists in the development of
verbal communication, speech, and language skills.
-
(AUTISM, ALZHEIMER)
Memory recall which contributes to reminiscence and
satisfaction with life.
-
Musical memory refers to the ability to remember musicrelated information, such as melodic content and other
progressions of tones or pitches.
(AUTISM, ALZHEIMER)
Music provides concrete, multi-sensory stimulation (auditory,
visual, proprioceptive, vestibular, and tactile).
-
(DYSLEXIA)
There is no relationship between a lack of musical ability (or
amusia) and dyslexia.
-
(DYSLEXIA)
Three reasons why the theory that music training helps with
dyslexia is wrong:
1) the quality of studies that make that claim are poor;
2) the current studies imply causality when, in fact, they
only show an association;
3) a couple of studies have shown there is no link between
ability to hear (e.g. with Deaf children) and the ability to
read.
(DYSLEXIA)
The development of the ability to operate explicitly on
phonemes and syllables with the development of the ability
to operate explicitly with notes and intervals

IN MY OPINION
I DO NOT AGREE THAT:
-
The quality of studies that make that claim are poor, the
current studies imply causality when, in fact, they only
show an association, a couple of studies have shown
there is no link between ability to hear.
IN MY OPINION
REASONS:
-
REASONS:
-
REASONS:
-The idea that music therapy "works" only because of the
association between music and language.
Music therapy works because many of the brain processes
shared with the brain processes used to process music
(Language is just one of them).
Music - touches on brain areas responsible for motor
movement, coordination and balance, emotional regulation,
language production, executive functioning, auditory
processing, learning and memory, state regulation, and a
host more.

It has also been shown to reduce muscle tension, and can be very
helpful in promoting relaxation.
