Music as therapy

“Music can truly be therapy and help you get through the emotional roller coasters of life. Chances are, if you’re going through something that is putting your emotions on alert – someone else has been there before and sung about it!”-SingSnap newsletter 4/26/2023

It’s hard to remain sad when you are singing, even singing a sad song.   Neil diamond in his “Song Sung Blues” song expresses this thought.

Martha Graham, (Double Strung Harpist🎵 Certified Therapeutic Musician – CCM), on Instagram as HarpPeaceGiver gives examples of her therapy work with music.   here is one example:

We can’t all play an instrument, but we all have our voice and can sing.

To entertain ourselves, we can sing when we are sad or happy, and give ourselves music therapy.

Mood Altering Music

Music is a mood altering non substance.

Feeling down, depressed, sad?

Music can enhance you mood.

Ask your doctor if music is right for you as it may be addictive and have some side effects.

Side effects may include head bobbing, foot tapping, finger snapping and persistent melody flashbacks.

There may be others but the fact that it can made you feel happy and upbeat is a very good reason to use it.

Caution: Stay away from depressing or angry music.

So start singing a happy tune and see how you feel.
