5/20 Music Therapy

I think music therapy is excellent for students and young children. It is beneficial in development and helps children excel is all other areas of their life. Music can facilitate relaxation, healing, and pain management. Kids are able to use music to cope with their disabilities or challenges in their lives. Students who are engaged in the classroom through music tend to have better reading comprehension, vocabulary, listening skills, and verbal memory. These students are also able to interact with their peers, thus enhancing their social skills. Learning and practicing social skills through music therapy ultimately provides the right combination of fun, motivation, and challenge, while benefiting students in other areas academically.
