About

** The word Torongo in Bangla/Bengali language refers to ‘waves’ and is often associated with sound waves.

Torongo is a music therapy content production and curation hub. It was started with the sole mission of making the world a better place by highlighting the wonderful rewards that music therapy has to offer.

We do this through providing access to educational content, useful resources, and promoting the evidential practice of music therapy.
