Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect of maintaining life balance, particularly amidst increasing social pressures and the complexities of modern life. Numerous studies have shown that music is not merely a form of entertainment but also possesses significant therapeutic functions. As a form of non-verbal communication, music enables emotional expression, stress reduction, and provides a medium for self-expression that cannot be easily conveyed through spoken language. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive case study approach involving eight housewives in the Pasar Gaung area, Padang City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and music communication concepts. The findings reveal that music is effective in regulating emotions, transforming negative feelings, and fostering motivation and creativity. Moreover, music serves as a universal medium of communication that builds social connectedness and offers psychological support. Therefore, music can be considered an essential coping mechanism and a valuable therapeutic resource for enhancing mental well-being.
