Music Therapy: A New Perspective

[CMajor5]

I am interested in becoming a music therapist! I find myself drawn to the idea. What kind of instruments do you need to play to be a music therapist? I only sing, and I am currently a vocal performance major.

[bmoore326]

@CMajor5 1 main instrument required (voice, piano or guitar) and proficiency in the other 2 mentioned. If you want to 'actually' do something with your musical talents, then music therapy is the way to go. Seriously look into it.

[vanight]

@bmoore326 I too have been looking for something meaningful to use passion for. I am interested in counseling and scored high for that type of profession using the Meyers Briggs test. Music Therapy is like combining Music and Counseling. I do have a more logistical question, does this profession pay enough to realistically one day stop my current profession and do it full time? I really have no no idea, and I doubt there is an public info about it.

[bmoore326]

@vanight Music Therapy is much more than just 'Music & Counseling', and I would need more than a few sentences to explain why.

I don't know what your current job is and couldn't tell you if you would make more or less than what you earn right now. I've just begun in the professionaly and I do quite well.

[11mothernature]

I can't wait to go to college this fall at Colorado State to study music therapy!

[gisca17]

USU  has the best program in the country in music therapy

[loopba]

is this real????

[CalvinNemec]

Very inspiring!

[coosse]

Brillant video love the song x made me realize music is connecting us all.

[jebo94]

I cant wait to start training as a music therapist! Actually.... I cant wait to start uni alltogther. I'm only 16, but I know that this is what I want to do. It's so moving and insperational. Have you got any tips that might help me now...?

Such an insperational video =)

[unrealwoodenface]

Hey!

I'm currently doing a PE assignment based on music therapy, and it has to have a performance aspect. I was wondering if I could please be granted permission to use this video in that performance, as a means of introducing music therapy to the audience.

Please reply!

[belgiumchick]

hey can someone helps me? I'm looking for the title of the song in the background

[musicodeon]

Beautiful! It's a shame that music therapy is largely overlooked in the public conversation about wellness and lifestyle healing. It's mostly consigned to our caring institutions. If we were to really tap the healing powers of sound and begin to make it part of the daily life in our homes, schools, work places, retail, clinics - and of course our institutions - then music therapy might be reframed in the public's mind... truly a "new perspective" on music therapy.

[SandrineSoprano]

I feel music therapy could go much further. Music from Great composeers could be further analysed, tested, and "prescribed" to some patients. Instead of bongos and xylophones.

[AlexKalicinski]

Im going into sound therapy.

Im going to eat breathe and sleep solfeggio frequencies. 

[moviefreek234]

I am a music therapy undergrad major right now and let me just say this: I LOVE my major. Every day I look forward to the day when I can fully eat, sleep, and breathe music therapy sessions. I find it truly mind blowing. Also, my teacher is playing violin at 1:00 haha!

[realar]

Music is life!!

[turtleygirl]

I love this song, Enya is amazing :). I am 15 and I want to get into music therapy after school. I like the picture at 1:54.

[prankstare]

Thank you so much for putting up this amazing video! This will greatly enhance my ISP presentation for my careers class. :]

[24musiclove]

thank you.i am doing a term paper on music therapy and this helped alot! put together well and very touching

[RogueRotting360]

Hate this some.

New age trite.

[noey543]

FYI- it's not new age...it began in the 1940's

[RogueRotting360]

@noey543: This song?

[turtleygirl]

@RogueRotting360 you probably already know by now, but it's called "adiemus" by Enya.

[MRT408]

@turtleygirl

it's actually not by enya but by Miriam Stockley. they both sound similar though

[McQuads87]

epic song!!!

[thecased550]

I love this video

[abobadilla10]

nice..

[megnigma]

The music is not by Adiemus, it is by Karl Jenkins.

Nice photos though, thank you.

[sayno2lolzisback]

noone said it was by adiemus, the description says its called adiemus :/

[bmoore326]

That was my fault. In the video description I accidentally put "by Adiemus" until megnigma corrected me. I have since fixed it.

[lyerlyreddwarf]

Lovely video, thanks for sharing!

[moviefreek234]

Thank you so much for posting this video...I am currently a freshmen music therapy major and seeing this video inspired me SO much...I am now so incredibly proud to be a music therapy major! Thank you!

[seathet]

lmao eeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol good vid very funny

[AndreaAzn]

[KrAmw00d93]

wtf? jerk

[seathet]

its in the com section it's based on retards... funny!

[Drugster91]

wonderful

[dmn0211]

Music Therapy is a rewarding field. While in your major, ask about the pros and cons of the field and the safety issues so that you are aware before you finish your degree and go out into the real working world.

[Radialaced]

What do you mean, "pros and cons" and "safety issues"?

Thanks

[Kreedon]

Working in the disability field has it

"pros and cons" like any other health

field endeavor including "safety issues"

which is about working one on one

with individuals. Yet the, positives far

outweigh any possible "negatives"

[iwantcottoncandy]

Thanks for making this:) I recently learned about music therapy and I am considering it as a career. I will be a senior in high school and I have been wondering what I will do in the future. I couldn't find anything that fit me, but when I heard about music therapy, I thought, "This is what I want to do!".

[arcticmonkeykatie]

I am a senior in high school who is considering a career in music therapy and this video showed me a beautiful side of this career and gave me a greater desire to work in this profession. thanks.

[Kreedon]

I am not going to get into a semantic

disscussion about classifying therapies.

Yet, I can say after being a part of many horse and music therapy sessions that .both therpaies are incredibly interconnected in providing

a "freeing" effect for the participants

based in the basic rhtyms of life.

Thanks for your view point.

Phil Waigand "THE BEAT"

[Kreedon]

Music Therapy is also a part of other

"Rhythm Therapies" such as drum

therapy, dance therapy and horse therapy.

Music Therapy true potential is just beginning to be realized!!

Thanks, Phil Waigand

"THE BEAT"

(Heart Hoof Drum)

[bmoore326]

Valid observation, however I would clasify dance therapy and drum therapy as sub-therapies of music therapy. Also, there is a lot more to music therapy than just rhythm, therefore declasifying it as strictly a 'rhythm therapy'. I would also put 'horse therapy' under the broader 'animal therapy', but I don't enough about it to validate that claim.

[bmoore326]

There has been much confusion about the song. It is Karl Jenkins' "Adiemus" - NOT ENYA. I know the vocalist sounds a lot like her, but I assure you it is not.

[bmoore326]

And yes you can go on the internet and YouTube and find things like "Adiemus by Enya" but they are wrong too.

[topgun23]

whats the name of the song in the background?

[Aeon057]

This is "Adiemus", performed by Enya.

[davisk416]

I am a Psy Nursing student and I would love to show my class this, It is wonderful!! Would it be possible to download it or show it off line because the psyc hospital that we are doing our clinicals at will not allow us axcess to their internet.

[bella8804]

amazing video !!!!!

[angelcovering]

absolutely love it!

[marguito]

As a Music Therapy student, this presentation really hits home! Beautiful selection of quotes and images. May I ask what the song you used is? It's lovely:)

[xuanizee]

its called adiemus.

[Klr707]

This music is definetly from Lord of the rings

[MARTINACOSTA4]

How sorrowful, yet beautiful; brings joy to those who can hear the earth. Hmm, it seems that not only laughter or time can heal all wounds. "The earth has music for those who listen."

I know some musical music that can heal even the deepest wounds. Contact me if you can.

[blueskymt]

Perfect !! Bravo !!

Perhaps there will be a perfect development in China some day.

[Sanchez350]

I remember hearing the background music in a movie somewhere...

[Chinchin92]

It's from BROTHER BEAR!

[Sanchez350]

Oh my gosh, yes. I remember! Thanks!

[ch3ckerfred]

and definately check out "in caelum fero"

[ch3ckerfred]

no problem. if you like it then check out Palladio (you may recognize it from the old zales diamond commercials), cantus: song of aeolus both by karl jenkins

[ch3ckerfred]

adiemus by karl jenkins. we did this song in marching band two years ago

[sajfreeman]

hi, whats the song playing throughout? cheers

[Kreedon]

Music Therapy also blends with

Horse Therapy where basic rhythms

can work together to empower

and lift the spirit!!

[armerian]

This is beautiful video

[JeanDagba]

O It's really wonderful , MUsic is a great THerapy !!

Jean EHD Senegal

[renski202]

[sallynotes]

thank you...

[welshcorgilover0]

Could I please ask what song this is? It's lovely!

[JHartt90]

audiemus

spelling may be off. but its a beautiful song. i sang it with the children's festival chorus in pittsburgh!

[angelcovering]

I am a ex-medical scientist in graduate student studying music/art and other forms of evidence based healing therapies. Music in one form which is extremely healing. I loved this video!! Angel

[bluesman1993]

i think too...peace in the world with music...all togher playing the music...to be or not to be!!!!???

[frjlnsp]

Hello. I'm a student of Psycology. I'm from Mexico. Could you please recommend books about Musictherapy??? I would like to know about it. Thank you. I´m form Mexico

[misskearstin]

[Dosenarmeise]

This Video is sooo beautiful!!!!

What is this song? The Song is soooo great for this video. I musst cry =)

[lizzynorm]

Thanks so much for making this video (& your others too!). I'm a music therapist in the UK and have found your work really useful as I'm preparing a presentation and needed some links for images about the work. It's lovely.

[michalila]

BEAUTIFUL.

I've done my final project in English about Music Therapy, and tomorrow I am going to present it infront of the whole class. I will start with your video. thank you for making it!

[humanedomain]

Fantastic Video & well expressed Truth about music

[MusicInMe1121]

I am a musician with CP. I have not experienced music therapy in the formal sense. But through my study of the voice I can transcend my disabilty. Music allows me to express feelings that would otherwise stay trapped inside me. I sing and I am physically disabled, so to study voice performance has taught me to have greater control over my body too. Music is truely freedom to me. I have forwarded this vieo to my music teacher. Thanks for capturing why I love music in 2 mins and 37 seconds

[curraghgraigue]

Really moving, loved it!

[surfershay22]

What is the song called that is used in this video? I love it!

[crazygamelaner]

adiemus- Karl Jenkins- I agree that this video is fabulous. I'm currently doing a music therapy project and have never found something so rewarding- as a musician.

[JasonJanuth]

Just Wonderful...

[Ergonomize]

Great, go on: Fronm Finland

[sharonmary]

Wow i loved this video. Like many other tiny things throughout the day it gives me that little extra push to continue with renewed vigour my music therapy studies. Thanks for posting this video, we need more publicity for our noble profession!

[cdgal33]

I showed this video to my autism class about how speech-language therapist can incorporate some type of music into our therapy and how helpful it can be. I really love this video--it and the music together is so touching!

[bmoore326]

That means a lot to me. The whole reason I assembled this video is so others could use it in presentations. I hope you'll keep using it in the future.

[Stitchman3875]

Man, as a Music Major, I can only say one thing about your video. INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!

[angelcovering]

Music is healing!!! I love the video and am a professional singer of 30 years and was extremely moved by the quotes. Especially "music is what feelings sound like" I have left the medical field of 17 years to help integrate music into the medical system. I believe the expression of feelings is very important to health as well as the fact music has to be individualized for each student so expression will occur at the max!! Thank you again...BTW is that Enya? Please let me know. Angel

[bmoore326]

Thanks for your thoughts. The song is actually called Adiemus by the group Adiemus.

[wavevector]

check out MUSICALHYPNOTHERAPY dot COM

[mspianomistress]

Beautiful! I am majoring in music composition at ASU and considering changing my major to Music Therapy. This really helps. I can really relate with the quote that says music is what our feelings sound like.

[bmoore326]

That's a tough decission - I love music composition as much as I love music therapy. It's great how the two go hand-in-hand. I hear that ASU (Arizona, right?) has a great program for MT.

[mspianomistress]

I'm actually also considering double-majoring in both. That would be a lot of work, though.

[amandaesch]

Love the video!!

[theatregal5]

Very nice. Where does this song come from?

[bmoore326]

The song is caled Adiemus by the group Adiemus. It has been used on Survivor and other popular shows.

[CarolJWright]

Nice overview of music therapy options. I very carefully select concerts for Mom (age 87) and I to attend, and found she really relates to the full emotional movement of the musicians. After attending a SF Symp. concert (Mahler song cycle was featured and we had front row seats!), I found the Mahler 8th on TV (Simon Rattle version) and put mom before TV wearing headset. I taped her. Check it out on my channel. You can also see the Rattle 8th right on YouTube! ;-)
