Music therapy is a relatively new discipline, It is being increasingly recognised at a time when there has never been such a variety of music available to so many people. We may go regularly to the concert hall, the opera house, to a jazz club or a pop concert. We may be members of a local choir, band or orchestra. Music of all styles is also available to us at the push of a button in the comfort of our own homes. We seldom meet people who report no liking for any kind of music whatsoever.
