Helmholtz demonstrated that even after sciences such as acoustics, physiology, mathematics and psychology did their best to define it. Music, however, is something very different, much more than a fusion of all these points of view. Music is much more closely related to pure sensation than any other art; it comes more from us, expressing the essential unity of things; it is, he said, “in music, the tone of sensations is the material of art” (Helmholtz, 1862). While I was writing this essay, my eight-year-old daughter heard me say, “What is music?” She blurted out and said that music is everywhere, you can hear radio, television, internet, gadgets like iPod, iShuffle, iPhone, MP3s, etc., sometimes you can even find yourself humming while cooking, studying, showering, especially when you are in a state of bliss.

As music is a universal medium, this form of therapy has the potential to cross boundaries of age, culture, language and experience (Baker & Jones, 2006; Robarts 2006; Oseille and Oseille, 2008 ).
