HOLISTIC MUSIC

Beautiful music can modify emotions, purify the soul, and bring enjoyment. But did you know that in ancient times, music was created to heal illness? This point can be traced back to the creation of the Chinese characters because the word for medicine (yao) comes from the word for music (yue).

Andy Wasserman has been researching, exploring and utilizing many therapeutic and healing modalities of music since 1974.
