The development trend of music therapy in my country:

1. Step-by-step development.

Music therapy should play music step by step according to the psychological characteristics of the client. From the perspective of music selection, proceed step by step. For example, music that induces sad emotions can be divided into mild, moderate and severe. The choice of music generally starts with light music and gradually transitions to moderately sad music. From the perspective of playback volume, the volume should also be gradually increased to allow visitors to gradually adapt.

2. Pay more attention to learning and inspiration.

During music therapy, we educate and guide clients who do not understand music, and introduce the background of music creation to the clients and the artistic conception that the musicians want to express. Before treatment, try to let the client listen to a piece of music and experience the artistic conception of the music with heart. If the client does not understand the artistic conception of the music, the psychotherapist should provide some explanations to help the client understand the meaning of the music.

3. Pay more attention to patient experience.

In the treatment, the client is allowed to experience his or her emotions or feelings carefully according to the atmosphere created by the music.

Music therapy officially became a discipline at Michigan State University in the United States in 1944. After more than half a century of development, music therapy has become a mature and complete marginal discipline, with hundreds of established clinical treatment methods and numerous theoretical schools.
