How will my child benefit?
Many emergent therapeutic practices are examining the
connections among the sensory realm of the mind and its
effects on the physical body. Chief among these are the
studies of sound and music therapy, as these fields are
now closely codified as disciplines that can yield demonstrable
outcomes, even if the processes behind them are not yet
entirely understood.
According to the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA),
music’s healing influence has been on record since
ancient times. As a discipline, music therapy emerged
in the wake of World Wars I and II, when musicians began
to realize the value of visiting hospitalized veterans
recovering from trauma.
More recently, Liora Laufer, an Israel-based graphologist,
discovered the influence of music on scholastic disciplines
15 years ago by setting handwriting exercises to a soundtrack.
