Some Amazon reviews:<\/p>\n

“This is a perfect book this for all those who are curious about music therapy! It includes a plethora of stories that are engaging and easy to read, yet offer accurate insight into the day-to-day life of a music therapist in an array of clinical settings. You’ll find yourself completely touched by and engrossed in the author’s descriptions of her work over the years.<\/p>\n

If you are a student interested in this field, someone who has seen a new report about music therapy and is interested in learning more, a family member wanting to know more about the treatment your family might benefit from, a person who finds music and the brain or the health and human services interesting, or just someone looking for a great read about one of the best but lesser known professions out there – read this book. You’ll be glad you did.”<\/p>\n

“I am so excited and grateful that this book exists! If you are even slightly interested or curious about music therapy, or if you happen to know a music therapist and never QUITE understand what they’re always going on about — this is the book for you!<\/p>\n

It’s chock-full of amazing, engaging, readable stories AND smart, concise, accessible explanations of what happened in the stories and why. It also debunks many of the common (and understandable) misunderstandings that abound about music therapy in a way that is respectful of the reader. Entertaining and educational!<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to pass on copies to family members for the holidays; They will love reading the stories and learning more about what music can accomplish clinically, and I will love the opportunity to advocate for my profession!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
