MT 14. Karin Schou (2008) Music therapy for post operative cardiac patients.
Karin Schou has investigated the effect of music listening and guided relaxation for patients after a
cardiac operation. She compared three groups, a Guided Relaxation with Music group, a Music

Participants in the first two groups chose to listen to a preferred genre of relaxing music.They
could choose between Easy listening, Classical, Specially composed music, and Jazz.
Schou applied four programmes consisting of music from the preferred genres (pp. 129-131):
