Music Is Good For Yo u

-

Queen’s classic We WillRockYo­u is the number one song used in music therapy, according to a survey by Chroma, the UK’s leading provider of arts therapy. They use music, drama and visual arts to help people of all ages facing issues ranging from neurologic­al damage such as dementia through to emotional and social problems.

“We WillRockYo­u is a music therapy natural,” explained Daniel Thomas, managing director. “Belt it out, stamp your feet, and you’ll immediatel­y feel more uplifted, united and orientated.”

Music therapy has actually been used in the UK for more than 70 years. Registered therapists use music to help clients with issues ranging from cognitive function and motor skills to emotional developmen­t and quality of life.
