Music as therapy is used for many different issues, from stress relief to mental, emotional and behavioral problems. It has been shown to help treat depression and anxiety, and is often used to help elderly clients deal with memory loss associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. When your child becomes active in music-making, they are personally involved in a musical experience – tempo, rhythm, melody and harmony. Music can engage your child directly regardless of any conditions which restrict their lives. In music sessions your child is invited to sing, to play on a wide variety of instruments and also to engage in a variety of movement activities.

Music as therapy is also good for everyone who wants to learn to know him/herself better, improve communication skills and for improvement of quality of life in general.

The use of music and its many facets— physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual— to help clients improve their health in cognitive, motor, emotional, communicative, social, sensory, and educational domains by using both active and receptive music experiences. These experiences include improvisation, re-creation, composition, receptive methods, and discussion of music. Some common music as therapy practices include developmental work (communication, motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs, songwriting and listening in reminiscence, orientation work with the elderly, processing and relaxation work, and rhythmic entertainment for physical rehabilitation in stroke victims.   "Singing and instrumental activities might have helped our species to refine motor skills, paving the way for the development of the exquisitely fine muscle control required for vocal or signed speech.” Evidence suggests that music as therapy is beneficial for all individuals, both physically and mentally. Benefits of music as therapy include improved heart rate, reduced anxiety, stimulation of the brain, and improved learning.
