In the article “The Therapeutic Effects of Singing in Neurological Disorders,” the scientist believe that singing has a positive effect on neurological disorders and theres the potential that singing could become a treatment for these disorders. The act of singing or producing musical sounds can result in treating speech motor deficits. Researchers ran a study and took group of patients who struggled with singing and asked them to sing for ten minutes. When they were done singing they saw that singing reduced the frequency of stuttering by ninety percent. However, singing therapy isn’t only  effective for patients with stuttering. Parkinson’s Disease,  Aphasia, and Autism can also be treated through singing treatments.

This really interested me because I had no idea that Neurological problems could be reduced through the technique of singing therapy. I enjoyed this piece because I’m interested in music and learning that theres a connection between singing and treatments for patients is something that I find fascinating.
