Music therapy is a form of psychological therapy, used for the majority of cases, with people suffering from some disease or problem, such as autistic children or people in post-comatose.
It 's a very interesting and fascinating field, but not always easy to understand and learn. The first thing to know is the basic tool: the rhythm.
Naively one might think that music therapy makes use of the music only, in reality, the basic element is even simpler, just the rhythm.
It does not characterize only the music, but every sound, every noise, including our voice. Pima still the music, in fact, the music therapist uses the rhythm and tone of her voice with a person, the patient, who generally has difficulty communicating.
A second instrument is the body: through the body in fact you can feel the rhythm, vibration, touch, and the person may be alive and able to rediscover itself in turn be notified of the tools he has.
The body, voice and music are elements in the hands of the music therapist to get in touch with the person who is faced with, and tune it, to empathize, that feel the same emotions, the way where the other is trying. This first phase is called matching. The basic element is always the rhythm, the therapist tries to understand, follow and imitate the rhythm that the other offers, voluntarily or not, or use the rhythm of music to create a contact. A proposal for a voluntary rate is the case in which the patient uses musical instruments or objects to create music and sound, for example through involuntary breath.
Follow the breath of the other, around the same pace with which he moves the other, playing an instrument according to what the other does or still move his hands on the body of the following the rhythm of music are elements that allow you to communicate with the person that you are facing and encourage them to communicate and respond in turn.
