Are the effects of music strong enough to be offered in psychotherapeutic sessions and physical therapeutic sessions? Music therapy should be a routine based therapy that helps in everyday life based on therapeutic treatments involving singing bowls and vibrational therapy. The Mozart effect evaluates whether this type of treatment is operational and helpful. The human body can be controlled by music through heart rate and brainwaves.

Introduction.
People value music as an art form of self-expression; however, many people value music as a psychological therapeutic treatment as well.

As humans, the pleasure of abstract details in life such as: art, poetry, and music provide us with no survival value like in the animal kingdom.
