Abstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of classical and popular music in the context of music therapy. By exploring relevant theoretical frameworks, the study highlights how these musical styles can be effectively utilized to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Through practical case studies, the article demonstrates the distinct impacts of both classical and popular music on patient treatment. It concludes that classical music, with its stable melodies and structured rhythms, is particularly beneficial for improving attention and regulating emotions in patients. On the other hand, popular music, known for its relatability and accessibility, fosters emotional resonance and engagement among individuals. The article emphasizes the importance of tailoring music selections to align with patients' preferences, treatment objectives, and environmental contexts to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. Additionally, it addresses the limitations of current research in the field and suggests future directions for investigating the integration of various music types in music therapy practices, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and applicability of this intervention.
