Why is it important?
There is a growing body of evidence indicating beneficial effects of music interventions for children in paediatric health care, but more rigorous research is still needed to examine prerequisites for both practical and professional implications. The lack of more generalised definitions and standardisation of musical interventions for health and well-being in the paediatric population further limits conclusions on their effectiveness.
Perspectives
To date, there is also more significant evidence for positive impacts from interventions led by a board-certified music therapist, partly explained by extensive professional training regarding a person-centred design.
