Since the ancient times, music therapy was mysteriously discovered to cure our body and soul, while articulating the most difficult expressions of man. Greeks had experimented it for various reasons. Those individuals who suffered from manic episodes were told to listen to soothing and calming melodies of flutes. Moreover, people who were extremely depressed had been advised to listen intently to dulcimer hymns. Some musicians were housed by healing shrines just to do the equally interesting task. To prove music's potent efficacy, Thales had miraculously cured people who were affected by a devastating plague in Sparta during 600 BC.

The modern methodologies of music therapy began in 1940 after the Second World War. Thousands of soldiers who were suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder had been confined to institutions due to their inability to do their share in the society where they belong. As a result, community musicians visited the hospitals for war veterans to gladly play for those patients who were dealing with physical and emotional traumas. As years go by, health professionals were shocked with the positive outcomes of music to their patients because they had seen how traditional therapies had been futile to resolve this alarming medical problem.

Music therapy is an aesthetic experience which draws out something from a passive patient. Also, it is a soothing medium which motivates people to move because human motions or physical participation preempts depression. Essentially, it is a gift from God that allows us to communicate and have some worthwhile interaction with others. There are two distinct types of a music-related healing approach. These are the active and passive therapeutic music methodology. The active type of music a patient is required to compose a unique kind of music through his or her own voice. Here, a depressed patient is encouraged to share thoughts or feelings within the concealed parts of a song. In effect, an individual who suffers from depression will develop a positive insight for a given problem or dilemma.

On the other hand, a passive music therapy, introduces victims of depression to listen to a powerful music while meditating, drawing or being engaged to other types of activity which are classified as reflective. Truly, music does lots of health wonders that science can never refute nor question.
