摘要：

This paper examines the use of music in healing as recorded in the Bible. The researcher gives a critical assessment of the healing exercises and classifies the kind of healing so achieved. This researcher concludes that music healing is real and far beyond speculation. Relying on biblical foundation of music healing, the researcher reveals that. the kind of music, the choice of instrument, the duration of performance, the intensity of the music, the setting of the healing exercise are significant contributions to the overall therapeutic potency of music, hence, Nigerian music healers are encouraged to learn from the Bible in evolving music healing techniques.
