Which article are you evaluating?
Music therapy

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Music therapy is something that is really close to my heart. I hope to someday incorporate music therapy into my major, Occupational therapy. Music is something that really touches everyone's life even if the type of music that every enjoys is not the same. I think it is important to find things that make life more enjoyable and music has always been one of those things.

Evaluate the article
This article is an explanation of music therapy and what it does and what it can help with. It also goes into detail over different types, the approaches, how it came to be, how it influences children, methods, and some different medical issues that it has helped with. It also goes into the different cultural aspects that have played a large role in therapy. I think this page was a good overview of music therapy. I think the author could have gone more in depth when looking at the background information on how music therapy got started. they touched on it a bit when looking at the culture of it but I think it would have been smart to do so right off the bat at the beginning of the page.
