People have been taking part in their musical experience since



time immemorial. The act of making music has a far reaching

and thoroughgo- ing and transformative effect which is

obtainable to anyone who takes part in music but the

therapeutic effect is different for the makers and listeners

of music. The original experience of expressing your feelings

and relaxation can only be achieved by making music. Everyone

of us except for hearing impaired can sing, hum, whistle and

make many other expressive and pleasing sounds. Different

types of sound waves are employed in accomplishing musical

experience to utmost satisfaction. They are an important

part of the underlying structure of music.

Music is an opportunity for everyone to go on a journey to a

place without any barrier and preconceptions. It has the

capacity to provide you the pleasure of a minivacation from

your usual mundane activities. Musical meditation has the

potential to relax, focus your attention, stop the inner

dialogue and open up a connection to a more fundamental state

of consciousness. This meditative state can be through

chanting and singing. This therapeutic meditative state is

also experienced when playing any musical instrument.

Human, being the inventive creatures from the very begining

began making special physical objects to expand the range of

the musical sounds that they could make which We now call

musical instruments. Earlier these musical devices were

simple and they allowed everyone to make music. More

elaborate musical instruments came into existence with the

change in our civilization.Though these new and refined

instruments have, expanded the range and type of musical

sound by increasing volume and diversity of scale, but the

very complexity of these instruments has limited the number

of those people who could actually enjoy playing them.

Once music making was open to everyone but with the advancement

in the technology in this field it has become the cradle of a

few who have the talent and dedication to master these difficult

modern instruments. Musicians have become professionals and the

rest of us unfortunately are an audience. It should be remembered

that contentment can be derived only when we participate

physically. There is a good news for music lovers specially the

players that the simple musical instruments on which earlier

peoples played with little effort, continue to exist in many

cultures. In order to learn playing music you have to enjoy

it by heart. Any worries, cares, problems will immediately

disappear with therapeutic aid of music you will feel clean,

relaxed and refreshed after you stop playing. The same is

experience with the listeners but the intensity is different.
