If you are from my generation, you may remember listening to the radio waiting for your favorite song to come on just so you could hit that button on your cassette tape to record. And then, you could play it back later. Yes I know it was illegal, but how great was that feeling?! The best gifts you could receive from your friends and your significant other was nothing more than a homemade mix tape. Waiting to catch that song on the radio, or making a mix tape was a process that took time. So why did we do it? Because we loved the music! We liked the way specific songs made us feel (happy or sad).
Music means something to us. It validates our emotions. It touches us in a way nothing else can.
This is the very reason why you should try Music Therapy. Research has shown that music is good for cancer patients. Music (and many forms of art) reduces stress, helps alleviate pain, and greatly decreases heart rate. {For the research statistics, click this link} Music just flat-out-makes-us-feel-good.
If you think about it, music is included in many of the important events in our lives (i.e. weddings, birthday parties, holidays, and even funerals). Music often says what the spoken word cannot and it provides an escape from tough moments.
To participate in Music Therapy, there is no requirement to play an instrument. Actually, Music Therapy requires no musical talent at all! All you need to do is bring yourself and be open to trying a variety of instruments and props that allow you to express yourself in a group. There isn't a performance element; music therapy is about self expression and release from stress.
We promise this will be much easier than making an "old school" mix tape. And, you don't have to figure out where you'll store another memento in the backseat of your car.
