"Music has been on earth since man is on earth."

The first record of a flute made of bone dates from 60,000 BC, while the first signs of harps and lyres in the Mesopotamia region.
Music is the combination of sounds and silence, and apparently its properties as an instrument of celebration and even relaxation were known even before the development of spoken language. The manipulation of some of the sound properties, such as duration, pitch, loudness and timbre, results in compositions of different rhythms, melodies or harmonies.

From this mobilization, doctors and nurses began to see a significant improvement in the health and well-being of patients hospitalized in these places. This motivated Dr. Oliver Sachs, an English physician and writer, to initiate in the mid-1960s a series of research into the healing capacity of music in patients with Parkinson's disease.
