Music Therapy for Broca's Aphasia | Life's a musical

What's Broca's aphasia and what's music therapy got to do with it? My journey as a music therapy student has been mind-blowing, to say the least. And as I dig deeper into research and clinical practice, I begin to see how much I underestimated the power of music in neurological matters. I hope this video helps you in some way, or at least triggers your curiosity as to how music therapy impacts a traumatic brain injury client. Also, I thank the gentleman in this video for his consent in sharing his process.
