Music therapy is an effective tool for improving skills, concentration, and memory in children, especially those with special needs. This video highlights various aspects of music therapy and its benefits.
In this video, the therapist demonstrates a music therapy session using a keyboard with butterfly shapes in different colors to help children with autism engage in basic musical scales (Sargam). The therapist emphasizes that the activity develops color recognition, fine motor skills, and memory retention through repetition of musical patterns. They stress the importance of patience, noting that results are gradual and observed after consistent practice over 15-20 days. Additionally, music therapy boosts children’s confidence, aids in articulation, and enhances their interest and concentration by incorporating their favorite songs, making learning fun and engaging.
