Music is an intrinsic part of all of us. Pulse and rhythm are found in our heartbeat, our breathing and our movement, melody is created in our laughing, crying, screaming or singing.
The whole range of our emotions can be held within the rhythms and harmonies of different musical styles and idioms. These intimate connections with music can remain despite disability or illness, and are not dependent on a musical training or background.
Music therapy uses the unique qualities of music to help children and adults live more creatively and resourcefully in the face of illness, disability or traumatic experiences. It can take place in schools, hospitals, day centres or purpose-built facilities, individually or in groups, alone or within an individualised treatment plan.
Because the ability to respond to music is universal, people of all ages can benefit from music therapy. The emphasis in music therapy is on active participation in musical activity, and it is through this dynamic engagement in creative experience that music therapy aims to help people.
The benefits of music therapy are wide-ranging, and relate to the different reasons for which people come to receive music therapy. For those with communicative disorders it can enhance expressive and interactive ability; for people isolated by illness or disability it can provide a means of socialisation, sharing and community. Music therapy can also facilitate a process of self-exploration.
Instead of doing research on such topics, you can do research on special Ragas such as "meghamalhar" and other ragas used by tansen and other legends which had magical effect on the listeners.
