This research was set to examine the positive effects that the green music and natural music would give to the cerebral palsied children in improving self-reliant functional activities and enhancing emotional intelligence and to their mothers in reducing stress. The music therapy has been expected to improve the patients' functional activities and enhance emotional stability. The cerebral palsied children's mother has suffered from long and never-ending burden of care. So it is very important to come up with a suitable way to reduce their stress. Several researches have shown that music therapy was remarkably conducive to stress management. I will support the claim in this article by using two kind of music: green music and natural music. The main results of research are as follows: The natural music listening and the green music listening were all-together contributive to enhancing cerebral palsied children' activities and emotional stability. Of the two, the natural music listening was more helpful. The natural music listening improved the nonverbal communication ability of the cerebral palsied children. their mothers stated that anxiety has been meaningfully reduced after listening natural music. On the contrary, listening green music was not helpful in reducing stress.
