Music Theraphy pioneer in Helwan

Browsing through the pile of magazine and newspapers accumulated during the winter holidays, I came across this interesting article about music theraphy on Al Ahram Weekly.
I read about music theraphy before and, as a music enthousiast, I do believe listening to music can affect people's health and mood, but it came to me as a surprise that a student of Helwan University, Nabila Mikhail (who has in the meantime become an expert in the field), choose the subject for her Master at Helwan University back in the 70s. Chapeau!

If reading this article stimulates your interest for the topic, I suggest as a further reading the brilliant "Musicophilia - Tales of Music and the Brain" by Oliver Sacks.
