Features: Music is a temporal art, a substance, and can also be considered a means through artistic methods to convey sensory experiences to humans, all living beings, and everything in nature. It is certain to bring significant impacts and benefits to humanity that have yet to be fully understood and recognized. With the rapid development of society and the continuous innovation of human civilization, science and technology are advancing at an unprecedented pace, and interdisciplinary fields related to music will also emerge more widely. The reason why music can heal and promote health can be briefly summarized as having five functions. These five functions can be summarized in five characters: Sound, Emotion, Meaning, Speed, and Wave. The music health care and medical study to be discussed here is also a new interdisciplinary field of music. This small book is a collection of the author's experiences and summaries from over thirty years of learning, research, and practice. Regardless of its depth or level, and whether it contains errors, it is presented to the public today, hoping to inspire more research interest and advance this highly meaningful new topic of music and human health care. It is hoped that music can play a greater, more, and better role in the new field of health care, serving people's well-being.
