Music Heals: Music Therapy Awareness and Fundraising in Canada

Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development.

— Dr. Clive Robbins, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Clinic

Music therapy has been an invaluable tool with many of our rehabilitation patients. There is no question that the relationship of music and medicine will blossom because of the advent of previously unavailable techniques that can now show the effects of music.

— Mathew Lee, Acting Director, Rusk Institute, New York

(Music therapy) can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort-between demoralization and dignity.

— Barbara Crowe, past president of the National Association for Music Therapy

I regard music therapy as a tool of great power in many neurological diseases-Parkinson's and Alzheimer's-because of its unique capacity to organize or reorganize cerebral function when it has been damaged.

— Oliver Sacks, M.D.

Just as certain selections of music will nourish your physical body and your emotional layer, so other musical works will bring greater health to your mind.

— Hal A. Lingerman

Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.

— Thomas Carlyle

Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.

— Leonard Bernstein

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

— Confucius

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

— Leo Tolstoy

Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.

— Robert G. Ingersoll

Music’s the medicine of the mind.

— John A. Logan

Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.

— Henry Ward Beecher

Music is what feelings sound like.

—Author Unknown

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

— Jimi Hendrix

The power of music to integrate and cure. . .
is quite fundamental. It is the profoundest nonchemical medication.

— Oliver Sacks, Awakenings

Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.

— Beethoven (1770-1827)

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from everyone loves music

— Billy Joel

One good thing about music,
when it hits you, you feel no pain

— Bob Marley
