Homeopathy is pseudoscience, and despite this there's lot of medicaments sold, and lot of therapists. Even officially approved from governments and medical organizations, despite all that alchemist nonsense. And it can be easily proofed it's nonsense from scientific point of view. If it works for somebody, it's just placebo effect. Music therapy is different, it works - be it passive or active - and it's approved healing method used successfully as a part of art therapy. It's also serious subject which can be studied at universities (unlike homeopathy which is only business and taught only in expensive courses AFAIK). Yes, lot of things are still not known and researched, because it's mental thing, and it works with emotions, and emotions and sensitivity to music can differ. Besides - music has emotional and rational part, and both can have different effect to different people. If somebody doesn't like jazz, probably such music will not heal him. A person who doesn't know anything about 12-tone serial music can hardly enjoy it - first we have to study about it, understand its backgrounds and principles, then get some listening experience and after this rational mental processing we can start to feel some emotions from it, get used to it and enjoy. The same with any music style. But I wouldn't call it pseudoscience. You don't believe in the power of music? And if not, so what? I will continue my project. Nobody forces you to be anyhow involved in it, or buy it. Just ignore it if you don't like my idea. Even when somebody doesn't believe in it, or it doesn't work with him/her as healing, still it is interesting and well done music. No trick, no wasted money.
