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.
