Abstract
Background: First use of music therapy was in the 1800s. The experiment was used in New York at an institute for music to try and alter dream states in psychotherapy. Music therapy has grown since when it was first founded. Everett Thayer Gaston was a trained psychologist called the father of music therapy and helped expand the therapy. Music is a massive tool that humans use daily to overcome social bonding, self-expression, pass time, entertainment, and many more. Objective: This study aims to identify how music therapy can affect college students in a positive or negative way. Design and Method: The research is a qualitative and descriptive study. Finding out this information, Purchase College Library databases were used. All the articles were peer-reviewed and found on: Academic Search Complete. ProQuest, Academic One File, and Gale. When conducting the literature search had to look for opposing viewpoints. The questions this research aims to address are: How does music therapy affect college students? Results: If you are constantly listening to songs about sex, drugs, and alcohol, that can affect your mind. These findings are significant because college kids can take this knowledge and discover their positive and negative triggers if they struggle at home or school. Beliefs and opinions are a big part of this equation because some might only listen to Christian music and say it's calming, while others can find scream music calming. Music therapy affects the mind of college students based on their preferences and what they relate to positively. Conclusions: Music therapy affects the mind of college students based on their preferences and what they relate to positively. This therapy can include but is not limited to writing or singing songs, playing an instrument, western music, exchanging information using music, and more. Students need to find out what music can negatively affect them to stay away. Keywords: Music therapy, college students, college, music, harmful, helpful, history, and college students.
