Music therapy began as a pioneering movement in the late 1940s when doctors, musicians and psychiatrists began exploring its use in hospitals and schools. Notable institutions that pioneered this field include Michigan State University, University of Kansas and Chicago Musical College – three institutions which established programs there at that time.
As more hospitals and state facilities began offering music therapy services, a national association was formed. The Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) provided programs in this field and regional MTNA conferences provided opportunities for interested professionals to network and discuss ways music could be utilized effectively in various contexts.
In the 1940s and 1950s, music therapy courses were introduced at various colleges such as Alverno, Washington State University, Michigan State, Chicago Musical College, and The College of the Pacific. Meanwhile, these therapists started working in hospitals, school systems, and residential centers for elderly individuals.
These early programs served a diverse population and proved that therapeutic music could be an effective treatment. By the 1960s, music therapists had expanded their practice to include work with children with disabilities or special needs.
Many people with psychiatric disorders find that music helps them express their feelings and emotions, boost self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and lift spirits. It may even aid in managing pain or giving them more control over their lives.
Research has demonstrated that music therapy can be highly effective for addiction and mental health treatment. It helps patients manage cravings and feelings of withdrawal, reduce pain perception, and boost motivation to change.
