In this way, an individual develops all his potentials: physical, emotional, cognitive and mental. Music education in its therapeutic mission helps at forming harmonious personality and becomes a mediator at different activities where discrepancies do not allow a successful educational process. On the basis of the empirical research in order to examine the results of Bach flower dances at seven- and eight-year-olds as well as the empirical findings acquired, a conclusion can be made that practicing Bach flower dances provides positive effects on certain positive emotional states as well as development of generally positive emotional state.
