Music Therapy

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "Music is the universal language of human kind."

It heals us. We listen to it, and we feel — nostalgia, happiness, curiosity. What better way is there to impact the world with your artistic vision than to use that healing power to help another person?

When it comes to therapies that promote wellness, alleviate pain, manage stress, and more, music is one of the best. And when it comes to music therapy programs, Loyola’s was one of the first. Founded in 1957, it’s an endorsed education program of the American Music Therapy Association, Inc.
