"Transforming Lives Through Music: providing Clinical Music Therapy & Education Across India"

Music therapy is a scientifically-backed healthcare profession where trained therapists use music purposefully to support a person’s emotional, cognitive, physical, and social wellbeing. It is based on the principle that music affects the brain and body in powerful ways, even without the need for conscious musical understanding.

In clinical settings, Music Therapy is:

• Goal-directed
• Personalized to the individual’s needs
• Grounded in research from fields like psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and education

At WLWT our certified therapists combine the rich traditions of Indian music with modern scientific methods to provide holistic healing experiences.

Music naturally:

• Stimulates both sides of the brain
• Activates emotional centers deep within the limbic system
• Regulates breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
• Encourages movement and motor coordination
• Builds emotional connections without the need for words

Because of these effects, music becomes a bridge between the mind, body, and emotions, making therapy sessions deeply effective — even for non-verbal individuals.

Music therapy is inclusive — it is beneficial for people across all stages of life:

Children

• Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Learning disabilities
• Cerebral Palsy
• Speech delays

Adults

• Depression, Anxiety, PTSD
• Chronic illnesses (e.g., cancer, heart disease)
• Stroke recovery
• Brain injuries and neurological conditions

Elderly

• Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
• Parkinson’s disease
• Social isolation, loneliness, grief

Special Populations

• People with developmental disabilities
• Terminally ill individuals (palliative care)
• Individuals undergoing addiction rehabilitation

Anyone seeking emotional balance, mindfulness, and self-expression

Sessions vary based on therapeutic goals, but may include:

• Active Music Making
  (playing instruments, vocalizing, drumming, rhythmic exercises)
• Receptive Listening
  (listening to specific musical pieces to stimulate emotional, cognitive, or physical responses)
• Improvisation
  (spontaneous music creation to explore emotions and encourage creative expression)
• Songwriting and Composition
  (helping clients write lyrics or melodies to express thoughts and feelings)
• Movement to Music
  (dance, coordinated movement for physical rehabilitation or emotional release)
• Music and Relaxation Techniques
  (guided imagery, breathing exercises combined with calming music)

Each session is goal-oriented — whether it’s improving speech, building confidence, reducing anxiety, enhancing memory, or strengthening motor skills.

Absolutely not!
Music therapy focuses on using music as a tool for healing and growth, not on musical skills or performance.
The therapy is accessible to everyone, whether or not they have any prior musical experience.

The goal is to connect, express, heal — not to perform.

Clinical Music Therapy is a recognized allied health profession — just like physiotherapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy.

Yes.

Research from fields like psychology, neuroscience, rehabilitation sciences, and even genetics shows that music therapy can:

• Stimulate neuroplasticity (brain rewiring)
• Improve speech recovery after strokes
• Reduce stress hormones like cortisol
• Increase feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin
• Support emotional resilience and social interaction

Leading hospitals and rehabilitation centers worldwide — and increasingly in India — now integrate Music Therapy into patient care.
