| Research Abstract |
The value of music as a means of therapy dwells in its ability to offer other assistance than those which almost all methods of medical care do. The usefulness of music therapy, however, is not discussed explicitly as yet. In this study, with the assistance of doctors, especially mental specialists, we practiced music therapy for demented senile for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of music therapy as well as reconsidering traditional methodology of music education.
