"I have found it most rewarding to witness the immense joy that music brings," says Ng when asked about the most inspiring aspect of being a musical therapist. "When I was presented with the opportunity to contribute a chapter to the book, I wanted to share the powerful effects of music therapy, in order to generate more interest in this field that is already gaining momentum in Singapore."
