The Power of Music


It was legendary Robert Nesta Marley who sang that "one good thing about music is when it hits you, you feel no pain". The powers of music is innumerable, especially its healing powers.

That was why Oliver Sacks, best-selling author and professor of neurology at NYU School Of Medicine wrote that "music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
