Learn the Healing Powers of Music

Music Therapy is on the upsurge, as it is proven to be an aid to cure a number of ailments. But the use of music for therapy and sound for healing is not a new concept. It dates back to the historical scriptures in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, China, Rome and even India. Despite this, well researched programmes in music therapy remain a rare phenomenon.

The MET League of Colleges has pioneered India’s first ever professional programme in ‘Sur Sanjeevan’ Music Therapy. Based on the therapeutic understanding of traditional music, ayurveda principles and modern techniques of sound, this certificate programme aims to help individuals discover the power of music as a medicine to cure ailments. Pt. Shashank Katti, the brain behind ‘Sur Sanjeevan’ Music Therapy, with over 30 years of research experience, conducts this programme, along with his team of reputed doctors. Students can learn the basics of music therapy in just six months. The training involves the treatment of arthritis, hypertension, indigestion, diabetes, asthma, migraine, depression, insomnia and such ailments. In a music therapy session, patients are made to listen to a particular raga (melody) selected for a particular disease, repeatedly. This produces a network of sound vibrations and initiates the process of healing.

Moreover, music therapy serves as an alternative career option. Professional music therapists can seek gainful employment in schools, health centers, psychiatric hospitals, general hospitals, children's hospitals, rehabilitation centres, retirement centers, community mental health centers, juvenile detention and other treatment centers. The outlook for a career in music therapy seems to be bright and is being seen as a cost-effective medicinal alternative.
