Teacher Chen teaches at the Art Department of Jincheng College. Her son has a special feeling for music since she was a child. Later, she discovered that special groups such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation and the blind are also sensitive to music. In this way, Mr. Chen began to learn "music therapy." In December 2006, she became the first batch of 24 registered music therapists in the country. Two years ago, his son had apparently recovered from long-term music therapy, but unfortunately a car accident took his life. Although she cannot continue helping her son, she hopes that music therapy will be useful to others

There are two main reasons for this course. "There are too few full-time music therapists, but there are very many people who need this kind of help." Teacher Chen of Jincheng College of Sichuan University said that music therapists do not need to be professional Skills, as long as they like music and have a certain sense of music, "After taking this course, students can develop towards music therapists, which will also help them find employment." ^[1]

So, which songs are good for music therapy? Teacher Chen said that this varies from person to person and has a lot to do with each person's past experience. It cannot be generalized, soothing music helps students relax. "In general, soothing, connotative old songs are more suitable." Teacher Chen specifically exemplified that "" can vent emotions, but songs like "" will not enter her teaching curriculum. "Four Dislikes" Music style is not suitable for music therapy; "Blue and White Porcelain" is antique, soothing music style, especially suitable for white-collar workers with high daily work pressure, "old songs can evoke people's inner things!" ^[1]

"I didn't choose this course, but I heard that it was very interesting. I came here to audit!" Tao Jingying was a 09-level financial management student. After the massage treatment, she said that she seemed to have returned to childhood without any thoughts.

The test for this course is also very special. Students do not need to write in the classroom, but go to disaster areas, welfare institutions or special education schools to provide music therapy for special groups. Their performance on the spot and their understanding of music therapy are the basis for scoring. . ^[1]
