The tongue drum is an ideal instrument for music therapy sessions. But what does this very ancient practice consist of, whose virtues are rediscovered today? It is a kind of sound immersion, which relies on sounds and vibrations to heal. Some melodies evoke reactions on a physical level, but also provoke emotions, which can be used for therapeutic purposes.
The principle on which music therapy is based is the synchronization of brain waves and music. The frequency of the instrument is particularly important. We offer a tongue drum model that naturally vibrates at a frequency of 432 Hz, the frequency of Nature and the Universe. It produces deeply soothing sounds due to its natural harmony. The tongue drum can be used in music therapy in a passive way, the patient listens and is simply receptive. But it is also possible to ask the patient to become active, by producing a melody himself. This approach is increasingly used by occupational therapists and behavioral therapists, especially with children.
