Author(s): Möckel, M.

Abstract: After listening to a Ravi Shankar recording of a raga and other music, cardiovascular disease patients showed a decrease in stress hormones. Based on these physiological studies, the communicative music approach was developed to produce music for a specific therapeutic goal. The communicative music approach in receptive music therapy, which places central importance and attention on the music and communication between patients, artists, and scientists, is based on three main principles:1 . As the music begins, musicians and composers come into contact with patients and medical stuff to establish a creative communication.2. A main element of the music is improvisation, to express the nonverbal elements of the artist's impressions of the patient and his illness.3. Different styles and genres of music are required for different needs, for example, various disease groups.Music therapy methods, including music, the main tool, must be conceived and chosen carefully so that protocols and standards may be established.
