Music as Therapy - Andrew Probelski
Music by itself may not have the ability to save lives, but it can definitely sustain or push someone in the right direction towards finding happiness in desperate and dark times. Music speaks to the heart, and good music (which is becoming harder and harder to find these days) no doubt helps a person. The Beatles and John Lennon touched the lives of millions of people, and their music continues to do so. Music is that form of communication that is indescribable - you can only experience and feel it. Music was the medium which played a huge role in bringing me out of darkness once, and it continues to inspire and move me. Music for me is a form of therapy, and without it I would go insane. I play, listen, and feel it and let it move in and through me. Music is one important gift we humans have been given; We must always be aware of its major influence on society and use it to help people.
