Aims: The aim of the study is to give an overview of the known and less-known methods of music therapy for aphasia and to introduce the reader to our own developed therapeutic method based on folk singing, which is not yet internationally known but is already used in Hungary. Method: Articles from the Hungarian and international literature were studied for the research. We used the PubMed database, supplemented by a traditional library search. Results: We found 8 different aphasia therapy methods based on musical elements, targeting aphasic individuals with relatively good auditory speech understanding and impaired language expression skills. Each method was described as effective in improving some areas of impaired language and speech abilities. Our own therapeutic method has been found to be effective in improving word comprehension. Conclusions: The effectiveness of the methods described is known from measurements on relatively small groups of participants, and further research is needed.
