Has anyone ever had experience with music therapy? I'm curious about why it works and what benefits it can have. I understand it's a form of therapy that uses music to help people with different mental and physical health issues. I'm hoping to hear from people who have experience with music therapy and can explain why it's an effective form of therapy. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
