It can also help about relaxation and pleasure, happiness and sadness. Listening to happy vs. sad music can affect the way you perceive the world around you. According to statistics: 86% of users of the Nordoff-Robbins music therapy services said that music therapy had enabled them to develop social skills and interaction (Nordoff Robbins, n.d.).
    Julian Levy(2017) shares the six major health benefits of music therapy: Music therapy reduce anxiety and physical effects of stress. It improves healing. It can help manage Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Music therapy reduce depression and other symptoms in the elderly. It helps to reduce symptoms of psychological disorders including schizophrenia. Music therapy improves self-expression and communication. All of these are very interesting facts. 
    Listening to music can also enhance other stress-relieving activities . For example, it can aid in practicing yoga, self-hypnosis or guided imagery. In other words, music can enhance the stress-relieving properties of other relaxing activities.  A lot of people are listening to music just to relax. Music can also help the brain reach a meditative state. This promote relaxation.

It can help children learn classroom rules, improving attention and focus, and promoting self-expression. Finally, music therapy can be used in schools to improve social skills and  communication. For example, it can help with “wh” questions (who, what, where, and when) and develop vocabulary.  What is very important for kids. It can be used to promote academic understanding in mathematics, such as teaching math facts, telling the time, and money concepts.  Music therapy can also target academic improvement in reading and writing. For example, music therapy improves phonic and sight words, and story elements.
