Impression of Music Therapy

I most likely have encountered music therapy and did not realize it. From what I read, it seems like it is very beneficial and students enjoy it. It has a number of social benefits such as increased attention, improved behavior, decreased agitation, and increased socialization. As far as reading and literacy skills, I read that one of the outcomes is improved receptive and expressive language. It also says that it can improve word recognition, logo identification, print concepts, and prewriting skills of children in early intervention programs. Social problem solving skills in kindergarten aged students are increased on a long-term basis through through musical therapy.
