This Washington Post article was the first source that I found that took the patients emotions into consideration. Additionally the article is one of the few sources that I found that urged for care and caution, because of the potential for negative effects on the psyche if treatment was improperly applied. 
“Music could have long-lasting effects on a patient’s emotions and well-being — in some cases negatively. Applying music therapy without this consideration might cause more harm than good, says Melita Belgrave, a music therapy professor at Arizona State University in Tempe.”]]> 2021-05-10 19:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1510782334 jschultz660 https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1510789883 Over Arching Review of a number of studies
This Scientific Journal contained a detailed review of a number of different studies about the influences of music on emotions, the body, and the brain. I was able to pull several quotes that strongly details some of the effect music can have on the body, down to a chemical and hormonal effect.

"Some studies have demonstrated that music therapy had an influence on levels of hormones such as cortisol. It also affects the autonomic nervous systems by decreasing stress-related activation." 

"At the same time, some studies suggest that music promotes several neurotransmitters, such as endorphins, endocannabinoids, dopamine, and nitric oxide. This implies that music takes part in reward, stress, and arousal processes.”]]> 2021-05-10 19:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1510789883 jschultz660 https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1510799038 Music and the Brain
This is the article that gave me a strong quote about cognition and how music engages multiple parts of the brain and is documented to have positive effects

“...engages many areas distributed throughout the brain, including those that are usually involved in other kinds of cognition.”

A Very informative interview with a licensed and practicing music therapist that helped me get a frame for things that are happening in the music therapist industry that might not be apparent on the surface, as well as pointing me in the direction of questions that I should be asking.

 “They [APA] think we are unqualified, and that using music therapy as treatment is like bringing a kid into finger paint when you need your living room painted”

David Eagleman's book The Brain the story of you, ended up being something that I didn't pull anything directly from, but it was a fascinating read, and I found myself connecting his writing to my curiosity about how things work in the world. His book connected some dots for me, when it comes to how the brain processes things, and how cognition works.]]> 2021-05-13 21:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1522775218 jschultz660 https://padlet.com/jschultz660/FA20Essay4Schultz/wish/1526767431
Cutting Though The Haze With Music

Central Question: “Does music therapy work to help people process memories and emotions that have been locked away by dementia?”


Music has the power to influence emotions, hearts, and minds, and as such, can be used to help treat people who are suffering from a illness that effects those things. Every culture in the world has some form of music associated with it, and when properly used, can help increase the quality of life for people who need it.

"The people affected by this terrible disease are losing their memories, their sense of self, friends, family, weddings, funerals, all of that is taken away and to me, that is a horrible thing to have happen. We are the sum of our experiences, and if we can not remember them, what is the point of our continued existence?"
