I've been looking up some quotes about music therapy, here's part one of it! Please stay tuned to check out part 2 later on!
Quotes about Music Therapy
- Dr. Oliver Sacks ("Awakenings"):
- Dr. Sacks reports that patients with neurological disorders who cannot talk or move are often able to sing, and sometimes even dance, to music. Its advocates say music therapy also can help ease the trauma of grieving, lessen depression and provide an outlet for people who are otherwise withdrawn.
- ST. Louis Post Dispatch. - Dr. Clive Robbins (Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Clinic):
- "Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development." Nordoff-Robbins uses music therapy to help 100 handicapped children learn and to relate and communicate with others.
- Barbara Crowe (past president of the National Association for Music Therapy):
- "(Music therapy) can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort -- between demoralization and dignity."
- Oliver Sacks, M.D.:
- "I regard music therapy as a tool of great power in many neurological disorders -- Parkinson's and Alzheimer's -- because of its unique capacity to organize or reorganize cerebral function when it has been damaged."
