Music Therapy

What is it?

Anthroposophical music therapy is an old form of therapy that works primarily through breathing. It incorporates a variety of different instruments, including wind, string, and percussion instruments as we well as the singing voice. It is applied actively as well as passively and is implemented with regular repetitions.

Music therapy gives us the opportunity to gain new experiences and allows us to listen to what we really need in a different way.

A human being is like a symphony that may no longer sound harmonious due to illness. Music therapy is applied during this disharmony and attempts to lead patients back to their «own equilibrium with its distinctly personal sound». The exercises are based on the originating elements of music: melody, harmony, and rhythm, and played on simple instruments. They can reach deep into the organic level of human beings.

Patients can actively or passively participate in this musical activity without prior musical knowledge and thereby positively impact their physical bodies, spiritual constitution, and willpower.

For whom?

We treat patients who have a prescription for this therapy, those who wish to participate on their own volition, or upon request by relatives.

  • All people who want to do something good for themselves.
  • People from all walks of life
  • Inpatients and outpatients
  • Relatives and those close to patients
