Scientific research are in progress on Brain-Mind works related to Music. One such research, with empirical evidence, has reported that religious/classical music creates sound frequencies resulting in surge of dopamine chemical. Dopamine creates the sense of pleasure, feel good factor, similar to meditation. Reports have been published and are on public domain. Neuroscientists are researching on many more complex functions and relationships with empirical evidences.
Myth of music therapy has to be vehemently rejected as the studies and reports in the past and in the present are not with scientific research, empirical evidence. Acts for high profile and publicity, nothing beyond and serious.
