Book and 4 CD's. A long-awaited, contemporary revision and expansion of the classic 1977 text by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins that laid the foundations for the widening development of their pioneering improvisational practice of music therapy. It is a large format book of nineteen chapters and over 500 pages yet it is a book to be listened to as much as read. The core of the book s content is to be gained through the ear. The original edition the first music therapy text to make audio recordings of therapy sessions publicly available contained one hour of recordings. The revised edition includes almost five hours of clinical work on four CDs. The 160 annotated excerpts taken from courses of improvisational music therapy with twenty-four variously disabled children present a kaleidoscopic range of creative musical-clinical phenomena.

The first book on the topic. Following an overview of different forms of feminism, and an introduction to feminism in music therapy, part one deals with the sociological implications of feminist worldviews of music therapy. Part two examines clinical work from a feminist perspective. Part three critically reflects on significant aspects of music therapy that relate to feminism, including the use of mother concepts, gender roles, gender messages in the song literature, the competitive separation of music therapy practices, and the representation of women in music, healthcare, and music therapy. Part four focuses on specific areas of training in music therapy from a feminist perspective including pedagogy, supervision, assessment, research, and ethics.

Feminist Perspectives in Music Therapy

An anthology of selected writings and presentations by Carolyn Kenny from 1979 to 2006. This volume includes two books, The Mythic Artery and The Field of Play; articles from journals about Music Therapy and Indigenous Studies, chapters in books on Music Therapy; and previously unpublished papers and case study. The anthology is organized into five distinct parts: the mythic journey, field theory for Music Therapy, being Native, practice, and ecological Music Therapy. Each part is introduced by an autobiographical narrative describing the context for sections. A detailed introduction provides the overall context and describes important influences in Kenny s thinking over time. A preface by Kenneth Aigen describes Kenny s role in the development of Music Therapy over the last thirty years. This volume clearly reveals, perhaps for the first time, the important interplay between Kenny s lifelong work in Music Therapy and her parallel work in Indigenous Studies. It also integrates many dis

Music As Therapy: A Dialogical Perspective

Garred, Rudy

). A collection of over 200 songs, poems, movement activities, lesson plans, instrumental accompaniments, and suggestions for the teacher, all designed to involve the whole child in singing, speech and movement, and most importantly in developing their creativity. Because of this holistic approach, the material in the book can be used with all children in classrooms or with small groups and are particularly effective when working with children Grades 3 and 4, and with children who have special problems. Each song, poem, and activity is designed to catch the interest of the children while at the same time, helping them develop another learning concept such as coordination, note-reading, sequencing ability, body awareness, or visual and auditory awareness. Specific attention is given to problems the teacher might encounter such as helping out-of-tuners or dealing with children who have learning disabilities, especially when these children are integrated into a regular classroom.

Music for Fun, Music for Learning

Birkenshaw, Lois

This book examines in detail the use of the authentic voice, highlighting its virtuosity, healing potency, and importance to well-being. It demonstrates the powerful impact of the voice, using clinical examples from mental health, medical, and special education settings. The book demonstrates how the potentials of using voice in music therapy is not limited to singing songs but also includes sighing, crying, screaming, groaning, humming, laughing, lamenting, and natural forms of singing as human expressions in different cultural traditions. The book integrates emotional, relational, cognitive, physical, aesthetic, spiritual and technical aspects of voice and singing into a multicultural clinical method. (2006, 200 pages)

Authentic Voices, Authentic Singing: A Multicultural Approach to Vocal Music Therapy

Uhlig, Sylka

). A revision of William Sears' 1968 theory "Processes in Music Therapy" is the centerpiece of the present work. The revision presents in greater detail the Processes, and finely characterizes them with well-crafted graphic figures.The most significant change is the proper elevation of music demands time-ordered behavior from a construct, that is an explicit relation between music and human behavior, to its position as the overarching force that allows music to happen. Also included in the book are an extraordinary group of Sears lectures and addresses, all of which were taken from tape recordings. Together, the chaptersof this book address the main topics that Sears felt were essential to explore in music therapy. This book is a must for music therapists who found the original Processes compelling, yet confusing, and for those who have come on the scene since then. (2007, 180 pages)

Music: The Therapeutic Edge: Readings from William W. Sears

While more and more certified music therapists appear to be using improvisational methods, few published resources exist to guide training and development, especially at the undergraduate/entry level. This unprecedented book provides clinicians, educators, and trainers with knowledge-based and skill-based competencies in group improvisation leadership and a suggested sequence for instruction in these specific competencies. The focus is on the use of percussion instruments, which are employed more often by music therapists than other instruments in group improvisation. The overarching aim is to help the reader become a facilitator who uses music in an authentic, communicative, flexible, and intentional way. Authentic means with genuineness of expression, communicative refers to the desire and ability to make meaningful contact with the other players, flexible relates to playing a responsive and adaptable manner, and intentional means with a clear clinical purpose in mind. Altogether, the competencies pinpointed in this book fall into three categories: Preparatory Skills, Facilitative Skills, and Verbal Processing Skills. Preparatory Skills refer to those decisions and actions of the therapist that precede the actual music improvisation. They revolve around the ability of the therapist to comprehend terms and nomenclature germane to the method, manipulate tools and settings used for improvisation including musical instruments and musical elements, and determine suitable structures for improvisation. Facilitative Skills revolve around the ability of the therapist to employ nonmusical and musical techniques in order to engage clients, and being able to listen, comprehend, and describe what is heard. Verbal Processing Skills refer to those skills required to effectively sort out and discuss improvisation. These skills help the therapist to recognize and call attention to significant aspects of the experience with clients and may assist communication with co-therapists, and/or supervisors. The book contains clinical vignettes and 80 exercises designed to reinforce competency in the aforementioned areas
