This graph shows that a large proportion of students (67%) scored their self-concept<br />

as worse after music therapy than before. One student (8%) made no change and three<br />

students (25%) showed improvement. Therefore, most students scored their selfconcept<br />

as lower after music therapy and fewer scored higher which could be seen as<br />

a negative result. However, it could also be seen as a positive result in the sense that<br />

students have become more self-aware and are able to answer more honestly.<br />
