Music as medical intervention?

The Hyderabad Chapter of Indian Music Therapy Association (IMTA) is organising one-day Music Therapy workshop at Phoenix Arena, Hi-Tec City on February 23. Music Therapy as a therapeutic intervention is growing in India. It needs intense efforts from various professionals to create awareness in various spheres of holistic health.

It makes a professional forum for the working music therapists of India so that they can meet at regular intervals to exchange their professional skills and understanding of this nascent subject. Apart from being an interest group the association will also strive in enlarging the research and education of music therapy in India. It is aimed at to install music therapy as a dependable medical intervention in many hospitals in the country and also introduce the subject of music in schools and colleges.
