Summary/Abstract: Music therapy is recognized as an effective scientific method both in solving medical and psychological problems and in maintaining psychological well-being in healthy people. However, its therapeutic potential is used to a limited extent. The present study brings to the fore, as a working hypothesis, the correlation between the accessibility of music therapy as a method of remote medical and psychological intervention, in relation to the digital literacy offered by technological developments. The potential of remote music therapy has been recognised in the context of pandemic social isolation and the concept deserves to be preserved and used in the future due to its undeniable benefits. Method:The design of the study was conceived in such a way as to use digital methods in order to collect data from the sample of respondents, through the Google Forms application, software for collection and automatic statistical analysis of data. An analysis of the collected data was applied in parallel, using the Minitab software. Results: Data processing confirms the working hypothesis, namely the fact that melotherapy can represent an alternative method of therapy, with a positive statistical correlation between acceptability and adherence to MT and elearning. Conclusions: The limits of the study are determined by the small size of the study sample. Although there are positive correlations between variables, more indepth studies on larger statistical populations and the integration of data in a wider context are needed in accordance with the evolution of e-learning and the development of telehealth tools. An important role is played by patients' beliefs regarding both telemedicine and the benefits of TM per se.
