Music therapy room set up for patients in Xi'an hospital

Editor：Ji Xiang

A hospital in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, has opened a music therapy room for patients, providing more than 200 musical instruments like pianos, guitars, electronic keyboards and drums.

Therapists help patients treat insomnia, depression and other diseases by letting them participate in singing and musical percussion sessions. Music therapy was introduced in China in the early 1980s and developed over more than 40 years.
