MUSIC THERAPY
INTRODUCTION
• Music is the one of the most important
forms of experience in the world around
us, and it is just as old as the world.
• Music is a part of our everyday life, it is
also our companion in the nature: singing
of birds, rustle of the wind, crashing of the
waves on the rocks...
• It helps to create a relaxing mood in our
society ( in stores, waiting rooms, ...)
• Specially selected music enables
individual aims (happiness at weddings,
the sadness at funerals, great triumph at
the olympics...)
WHAT IS MUSICAL THERAPY?
• It is a therapy with
music and musical
elements under
expert music
therapists. With the
therapy we support,
preserve or resume
our emotional and
spiritual health.
• It is an interesting and
attractive method
where art and science
meet and reach
hands to each other.
• Music therapy has a
long history.
Research shows that
the Egyptians were
treating their patients
with music therapy
already 4 thousand
years ago.
• It is founded on the fact that music effects
human physical and emotional feelings.
• Because of its popularity, effectiveness and
accessibility it is becoming a more and more
important way of treating and restoring,
interior peace, harmony, and human
balance.
• It is suitable as an independent method of
calming down, relaxing, discharging and
staying healthy.
MUSIC THERAPY IN
PSYCHIATRY
• We are using music therapy in two forms:
– passive
– active
• Both can be collective or individual and they arise
from the belief that specially chosen music can
cause positive changes in a patient. With music
we therapeutically influence emotional activity. We
regulate physical and psychological tension and
increase awareness.
ORFF’S INSTRUMENTS
• The basic elements for active music therapy are the
Orff’s instruments:
– Orff’s instruments are different rhytmical and
melodic instruments and everybody can play on them
with no problems or prior knowledge.
– Orff’s instruments : a drum made of wood, drum made
of animal skin, symbols, glockenspiel, triangle,
xylophone, castanets...
Instruments with

xylophone
bells
Different konckers for melodic and rhythmic instrumentalst
• Element music is connected with the
move, dance and speech. It is a music
where everybody must play and be
included as active producers and
performers. It is earthly,
natural, bodily and
accessible music.
HOW DOES THE MUSIC
THERAPY WORK?
• The voice and body are connected. The body is
an instrument and the voice is the sound that
comes from the body.
• If we want that the voice is harmonical it is
necessary that we relax our body. The body is
often hard and stiff as a result of stress that our
everday life brings.
• Stress and tension are visible in our voice and
body.
SENSE AND EFFECT
• We produce non-verbal communication
and creativity.
• We use it in therapy in order to make the
communication easier, to study and
express emotions.
• We eliminate stress
and tension from our
mind, we are more
concentrated, we
improve memory,
reduce tiredness and
have a better sleep.
PENTAGONAL
• It i s a 5 note scale without half-notes. It is
one of the oldest forms of this scale, that
the Greeks and the Chinese were using in
the past. We find it in different forms and
almost all over the world.
• The Chinese were connecting individual
scale notes with the seasons, weather
conditions and also with space or with the
planets.
Where the power of words ends,
has music her own place
