Parents' Perceptions of a Music Therapy Mobile Application Designed to Promote Calmer Behavior State and Improve Sleep Routine in Young Children

The purpose of this study was to conduct a pilot study to evaluate parents’ perceptions of a music therapy mobile application aimed to promote calmer behavioral state and to improve sleep routine in children under the age of six. Participants (N = 7) were parents with children six years and younger who received a three-week trial period of a music therapy mobile application followed by an online survey to gather responses. Results revealed generally positive responses on perceptions of the mobile application. However, there was a low response rate that does not allow for generalizations. Further results and implications are discussed within the paper.
