The last great representative of this medicinal music appreciation was the famous physician, philosopher, musicologist, and mathematician, Pythagoras.

‘If it is possible with the help of an insight into the microcosm of music to recognise the laws of harmony of our life, and, if by way of an external musical order we are able, in addition to this, to apply these natural laws of harmony to our thoughts, and still further to our biological system, allow them to take effect there, and to stabilise and activate those natural laws of harmony, already in place but weak in function, this would represent an enormous gain for the health of mankind’, he concluded.

And so Pythagoras set up a medical training facility in which he devoted himself with mathematical thorough-ness to this musicological and medical task.

After him, many renowned scientists and researchers from the most diverse of scientific fields have come up with the same or similar results as Pythagoras, so keeping his hypotheses alive.

No innovation has gained such a fast foothold and recognition among medical experts as the utilisation of the natural laws of harmony.

When one considers that the term Medical Resonance Therapy Music was only coined 10 years ago, and then looks at the present level of documentation on research and developments in this new branch of medicine, and the statements of leading medical experts from many fields, then it is also worth-while examining the causes for such enormous medical success more closely.
