Why the harp?

Most Therapeutic Music schools favour the harp. Why?
First of all, he harp is linked to archetypal, mythical healing. It is also the instrument that vibrates the most.
With its large range, it can vibrate the entire body. The small therapy harp vibrates most of the body.
This harp was in fact designed specialy for bedside work and for work with people confined to a wheelchair.
Its aesthetic shape and its timbre affect people on the physical as well as on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
The ethereal effect of the glissando and the broad palette of colors evoke a variety of emotions. The harp is also practical:
the therapist can play while keeping an eye on the client, it can be shared while the strings create a natural screen between client and therapist.
