This article provides an overview of the some of the latest results throughout this area and also uses two specific case vignettes that provide insight into day-to-day uses of clinical music therapy. In this article attention is given to components of social as well as occupational music usage predicated from with a ‘‘music as health’’ viewpoint. This critical study is meant to uncover beliefs regarding music involvement as well as music watching, with examination of the way music is created as a contribution to societal benefits through musical and healthcare ecosystem. The often observed assumption that music involvement as well as music listening are inherently positive and beneficial is explored. A variety of initiatives are presented and analyzed with relation to the topic of music’s commodification happiness or what has previously been called, the omnipresent goodness of music.
