A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 621399-46 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• Music therapy has been used for centuries, with evidence of its use dating back to ancient Greece. In the 20th century, music therapy began to be used in a more structured way, with the first music therapy degree program being established in the United States in 1944. In the 1960s and 1970s, music therapy gained more recognition as a legitimate form of therapy, with the establishment of the American Music Therapy Association in 1971. Since then, music therapy has continued to grow and evolve, with new research and techniques being developed all the time. In recent history, music therapy has become increasingly popular in the United States, with more and more people seeking out this form of therapy to help with a wide range of issues. In 2014, the National Endowment for the Arts published a report on the state of music therapy in the United States, which found that there were over 5,000 board-certified music therapists in the country, and that the field was growing rapidly. The report also highlighted the many benefits of music therapy, including improved mood, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased socialization and communication skills.
