The path of research continues in the journal Misostenido. We have no other destiny than to continue accumulating evidence to guide clinical decisions. Our stride is not very long, but it is firm and steady enough to take on future challenges and propose a path to professional consolidation in music therapy. In the Spanish-speaking context, as an emerging discipline aspiring to recognition, music therapy must primarily address two fronts once the quality and consistency of initial university training has been ensured. The first is the development of evidence-based intervention methodologies. The second is the implementation of a research culture among its members. Both aspects must be interconnected and equally addressed.

Let us think about bodily movements in the act of walking. Walking involves the coordination of various systems. Understanding motor capabilities and sensory information, executive functions, and volitional acts allows us to adjust the strength, balance, and tension of the muscles to organize movement in a coherent and controlled manner. This logic of progress is easily transferable to the development and consolidation of music therapy based on the two aforementioned fronts Our professional advancement also requires the joint participation of the body (the theoretical corpus) and evidence-based practical methodology.The conjunction of both parts, as organs of a single system, supports music therapy as an academic and clinical field and enables movement. Considering the laterality of the first limb, I wonder about the importance we really give to theoretical foundations. Due to a lack of our principles, we have been building the edifice of music therapy with contributions from other fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and medicine. Their constructs are secure, but we have had to adapt them to our conceptual framework. As translations, they are not fully understood as solid pillars upon which our discipline must be built.This inconsistency makes it easy to confuse them or even ignore them, leading to the use of peremptory supports that are not always solid and consistent.
