This Shit Works The Healing Power of Music Therapy with Kristi Faby
The concept of music as a healing influence, one which can affect our health and behavior is at least as old as the writings of Aristotle and Plato and in some cultures, long before that.
Music Therapy, as a 20th century profession formally began after World Wars I and II when community musicians of all types, both amateur and professional, traveled to Veterans hospitals around the country to play for the thousands of veterans suffering both physical and emotional trauma from the wars. The patients' notable physical and emotional responses to music led the doctors and nurses to request the hiring of musicians by the hospitals.
Listen in as I talk with Kristi Faby, the Director of Creative Arts Therapies at The South Shore Conservatory about the healing powers of music and how we can incorporate music therapy into our everyday lives.
