'It can be particularly effective...' is specific and does not introduce the topic. 'However, its effectiveness...' also starts with a connector and refers back to previous ideas.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about music therapy. It shows that there are different results for different people. This follows the Conclusive Words rule, as it gives a final thought on the topic.
