My first impression of music therapy is that it is awesome!!!! I knew about it a little before watching this video because I actually have some friends from high school that went into music therapy. One of the girls I know is deaf and is amazing with music, and she is going into music therapy. I think it is a great way for students to not only learn about music, but also express themselves in their own way. When children, or even adults are exposed to music therapy I feel like it opens them to a whole different world of possibilities. I especially liked in the video where it talked about giving kids a chance at power and control.
I believe music can help students with Reading/Literacy and the Development of Social Skills by making them aware that reading is fun. I have always heard that if you play classical music while kids are working it will greatly improve their physical and cognitive aspects. Also, the lyrics to some music help empower kids to become better people. Some teachers even use songs to teach a lesson. Overall, I believe music can help in any situation and is a great benefit to children.
