The research presented in this paper is in the process of stimulating the efforts to increase the quality of the music education through access to adequate education for each child's personality, in the sense that we should address all children and not just the musically gifted ones. Tests based on both active and passive music therapy were administered to a number of children who participated in music therapy classes.By means of the exercises performed during the experiment, a synthesis of soul, body and emotions was made, which is essential for learning, because the children learned to express music through sound, thoughts, feelings and creation in a sensitive, expressive manner. The music therapy classes conducted encouraged nonverbal expression and the development of social skills such as: listening, attention and direct personal contact.
