The key to understanding the process that makes the tones of this melody a melody at all, a piece of music, we found not in the relation of the tones to any particular feeling but in the relation of the tone e to the tone d (Zuckerkandl, 1956).
Music and the "life" behind it is so interpretational. The more that I read the writings of Zuckerkandl I realize the significance of something as small as a tone. To truly understand how one piece of music can be interpreted in numerous ways by different people. One piece of music or even a small melody can invoke a conglomerate of emotions, from one person to another. There are pieces of music that can bring you to tears or feelings of pure elation.
Music therapy has the implications of being quite significant. However, I see there being a few problems in the structure of the theory. If it is so possible for there to be so many different interpretations in music, then it is only fair to say what music would work in therapy. Zuckerkandl also refers to how psychology and music are so far apart from each other; he reports that they look at the physical word from different points-of-view. Considering this allows one to see that here in itself is a flaw in the whole ideology of it all. How can you use something in a field for which you feel there is...
It has its place in the physical world with the understanding of its natural structure. The amazing part about it is all in the interpretation of the one listening to the piece of music. That to me is the truly amazing aspect, the fact that one piece of music can be interpreted in numerous ways, it can be felt by some and others may have no emotion what so ever. The fact that each piece of music can be so different from another should be respected in itself. When in fact, the only difference can be something as small as the order of the notes and the key configuration, to the pitch and the environment from whence it was created. Music therapy has its place and should be respected for its strengths and studied for its weaknesses. Once we have a true understanding and respect for music and its components, only then will we effectively be able to use music therapy fully.

This contrast in conjunction with the singer's frequent maniacal laughter summons an astonishingly clear image of a woman trapped within herself. Her laughter is crazed with fear and she repeats the words over and over again, unable to move beyond that singular point in time. Once again, a very complex idea is expressed that as quite transparent to analysis. The final excerpt, entitled "Oh My Child" seems to be about
However, this was when the musical elements that were so deeply rooted into my belief system, into my very soul started to appear and I began to clearly recognize that it was possible to pursue the existence of something even stronger and deeper in the world of art, more specifically in the world created by sounds. Possessing both a keen ability to observe and a very strong aptitude to recall
Music is sound, which enters the outer ear and passes through the middle ear into the inner ear and the brain by means of electrical energy. In the brain, it can generate motor responses, draw emotions, release hormones and trigger higher-order processes. The brain develops its response as it perceives the sound. If a loud sound creates fright, calm music can soothe. Records on music therapy date as far back
Once this occurs, is when everyone will be more focused, because this is opening their minds to new ideas. Over the course of time, this will lead to an increase in the total amounts of learning comprehension. This is when there will be a transformation inside the classroom.
