Berklee College of Music instructors Suzanne Hanser and Annette Philip explain how to improve your mind and body with musical techniques grounded in science and Eastern philosophy.

You don't need to possess musical talent to benefit from the healing effects of sound.

In this course, you'll learn how music can be used as a tool to cope or feel better, particularly when you feel down or stressed out.

Music for Wellness was developed by Suzanne Hanser, founding chair of the music therapy department at Berklee College of Music, and Annette Philip, a vocalist and artistic director at Berklee India Exchange who specializes in Indian music.

Hanser and Philip demonstrate how to write your own music, create therapeutic playlists, and tap into the power of sound through ancient wellness practices such as mantra and pranayama.
