Course Overview

This practical and experiential programme introduces learners to the principles of Restorative Music Therapy based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Five Elements Theory.

The course explores the relationship between emotions, organ systems, body reflections, voice patterns, and therapeutic music frequencies. Learners will discover how specific music styles and sounds can be used to support emotional balance, stress reduction, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.

Drawing from the Five Elements framework—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—participants will learn how emotions such as anger, anxiety, worry, grief, and fear may influence physical and emotional health. Through guided listening, breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and music-based interventions, learners will develop practical skills to support emotional restoration for themselves, family members, and care recipients.

This programme is suitable for caregivers, homemakers, wellness practitioners, eldercare personnel, and individuals seeking natural approaches to emotional wellness and stress management.
