“Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.”
The Psychology Club organised a virtual workshop on “Music Therapy” for the students of the club of class 12th (2021-2022) on 21 May 2021.

The session began with a small activity which helped the students realise how different kinds of music affected their mood and made them feel. A brief explanation of music therapy was given. It is the use of music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of a group or individual. The beneficial uses of listening to classical music was presented. The biological and psychological effects of music were also discussed. The workshop was brought to a close with a body movement exercise that included reaching out to the sky and bringing in positive energy towards ourselves. As the workshop ended, the students felt light hearted and less stressed than before. The session was very relaxing and knowledgeable for the students present.
