At the same time, we must take care to protect the sovereign domain of our personal tastes and proclivities as well as our sense of wonder. Choosing the right music for pleasure or for healing is never going to be one-size-fits-all affair. Even setting aside therapeutic uses, our tastes change over the course of a life or even a day. If I've just heard my favorite song six times in a row, I may not want to hear it again. The right music is whatever music is right for us at any given time and place.
