  1. What is Music Therapy? • It is the skillful use of music and musical elements by an accredited music therapist to promote, maintain, and restore mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

  2. Ancient History of Music Therapy • Egyptians • Apollo • Pythagoras • Aristotle • Cassidorus • Plato • Hippocrates • Buddhists • Biblical references

  3. The Birth of Contemporary Music Therapy • Came into focus during WWI and WWII -Music was used in Veterans Administration Hospitals as an intervention to address traumatic war injuries -volunteer musicians played for war veterans -beneficial effect on patients psychological, physiological, cognitive, and emotional state

  4. The Birth of Contemporary Music Therapy • As a result, the medical profession began to seek a way to make this type of treatment more scientific • This ignited the proliferation of groups to promote music as therapy and to create educational programs where musicians could be trained as therapists

  5. Application of Music Therapy Interventions • Acquired Brain Injury • AIDS • Autism and other Pervasive Development Disabilities • Critical Care • Developmental Disabilities • Emotional Traumas • Geriatric Care • Hearing Impairments • Mental Health • Neonatal Care • Obstetrics • Oncology • Pain Control • Palliative Care • Personal Growth • Physical Disabilities • Speech and Language Impairments • Substance Abuse • Teens at Risk • Victims of Abuse • Visual Impairments

  6. Clinical Practice • Music therapists are responsible for preparing, implementing, and evaluating music therapy programmes with individuals and groups • Clinicians will do this by assessing and creating a treatment

  7. Intervention techniques • Singing • Playing • Rhythmic • Improvising • Composing • Imagery • Listening

  8. Materials • 20 male and 20 female Sprague-Dawleyrats were allowed to mate for 24 hours. • Pregnancy was confirmed 14 days after mating • Divided pregnant rats into three groups: control, noise, music • After birth were left undisturbed with mother

  9. Spatial learning tast • Used a radial-arm maze test • At the ends of the arms there was a small bowl of water • Placed in apparatus for three training periods before task • Rats were deprived of water for 24hours before testing • Allowed to explore apparatus and drink for 5minutes • Terminated when all 8 arms were explored or 5 min elapsed

  10. Measures of Spatial Learning • Total time spent seeking water • Number of errors • Number of arms entered before error

  11. Mean body weight 2 weeks after birth • Control: 27.8±0.75g • Noise: 19.42±0.5g • Music: 27.07±0.97g - Significant retardation of body weight in noise group compared to music/control

  12. Time elapsed for exploring all eight arms • Control: 110.88±14.42s • Noise: 122.8±14.47s • Music: 63.00±7.33 -Music group spends significantly less time to successfully explore all eight arms

  13. Number of Correct choices before error • Control: 6.44±.29 • Noise: 5.4±.47 • Music: 6.9±.23 -Noise applied group had significantly lower correct choices before error

  14. Number of errors before 8 successful performances • Control:5.55±1 • Noise:13.2±3.29 • Music:3.2±0.85 -Significantly more errors in the noise applied group

  15. Neurogenesis analysis • During pregnancy rats were subcutaneously injected with 100mg/kg of 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine. 30 minutes before experimental treatment • After completion of spatial learning task rats were immediately sacrificed • Their brains were then fixed, removed and made into 40um coronal sections • BrdUimmunohistochemistry was then done to prepare the sections • Brdu cells in hippocampus areas were counted hemilaterally and expressed in cells per square millimetre.

  16. CA1 • Control:2352±111.4 mm2 • Noise: 1644.22±119.04 • Music:3229.59±119.04

  17. Ca2 and ca3 • Control 868±40.05 • Noise 748.85±59.12 • Music 1393.7±57.66

  18. Dentate gyrus • Control 2367.28±138.25 • Noise 1170.91±146.76 • Music 2055.72±.124.39
