Magic of music

Dear Editor:

RE: Marden author’s newest book explores ‘the healing power of music’, Oct. 30

I love this article. I would never have known about this book otherwise! This book really sounds like one that I could relate to! Music is important, and its healing power is immense.

Like Flora Parsons, I have grown up playing music. I play my piano almost every day, and it heals me. Playing music has gotten me through many difficult times in my life, and I have become stronger because of it.

Music makes you part of a community, and this community and the music itself can help many people get through many trials in life.

Music can help people overcome trauma in their lives, and music therapy is a big application of this. Although music therapy is not a well-known practice in Canada yet, it is growing, and many people are able to benefit from it.

I have felt the healing power of music, and I wish that many more people could benefit from it!
