Art and science in the context of education are equally important. Several research conducted in this area reveals that art education supports and enhances cognitive skills and creativity in different ways for the holistic development of students including differently abled population. This research paper is pointing out the physical, mental, cognitive and psychological benefits of music and art education based on my research in music therapy for differently abled. Music is such a subject in which both art and science incorporate to improve the biological and psychological performance of the individual. In music therapy, the biological responses of the body, emotional and psychological benefits of the individual are being measured to analyze the outcomes.
