Abstract     People have many definitions of music. It was used systematically since prehistoric times. Music was applied systematically in curative and preventative use. The use of music in caring for people with developmental disabilities has a long tradition too. Music can often be an effective tool for establishing inirial contact with behaviour disordered or emotionally disturbed children or adolescent. The process of developing effective music therapy treatment plans includes five major steps. Many different types of music activities (singing, playing, listening, dancing, painting with music) can be used to help clients develop auditory, visual, motor, communication, social, cognitive and self- help skills. Music also develop learning by serving as a vehicle for appropriate emotional expression. Most adults have positive attitude towards classical music, but adolescents prefer pop music. The objective of this research was to determine attitude towards music and music therapy.
