After completing their graduation, seven Jordanian experts would officially commence treating patients with music, according to a ceremony conducted on Sunday evening at the Royal Cultural Centre in Amman.

Dr. Jack Sarkis, Consultant in Neurological Disorders and Autism, who was monitoring the batch, stated that music produces physical vibrations that address the brain, hormones, and body to create relaxation and happiness and to eliminate disruptions and stress.

"Music interprets movement inside the nervous system depending on a certain process and impacts the individual's behavior," Sarkis stated.

According to Sarkis, one of the projects presented by the grads is a music program to alleviate employee tension.

They also described the impact of this program on the aggressive behavior of teenagers.

The method is also used to help autistic youngsters learn how to overcome the obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, and attention deficit.

Before collecting the certified diplomas, the graduates performed a musical composition titled "Hope" at the event, suggesting their work paths in the following stage.

"The training diploma program for music therapy is the first of its type in the Middle East," Sarkis added.

“It competes internationally by including nervous system treatments and scientific applications in collaboration with Al Balqa Applied University's Centre for Consultation and Studies."

The ceremony was attended by Hazza Al Barari, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Culture, Hussein Al Khatib, President of the Artists Syndicate, and several important personalities.

According to Hazza Al Barari, the graduates would specialize in psychological therapy of behavior enforced by life's ups and downs.
