Potential Risks of Music Therapy

Music Therapy is generally a low-risk experience. Negative side effects are rare but may occur. Engaging in Music Therapy may invoke overstimulation, confusion or a negative emotional response. Music may call up repressed emotions.  Music may affect body pressure, body temperature and breathing rates.
