<p>From the front flap of this 252 page book: "Music therapy is a sensitive and effective means of communicating with and imparting skills to a handicapped child. Physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, teachers, and administrators in hospitals, residential centers, day schools, research units are experiencing its dynamic therapeutic possibilities. They find that music can stimulate a child to responsive activity and then support it; that music can calm a disturbed child, can relax the rigidities and tremors which plague the spastic; that it can create any kind of mood and 'set to music' a child's emotional tensions, thereby reaching and consoling him. Music therapy can build towards a relationship with even the most withdrawn child and help him in finding his mode of communication. Through the music therapy techniques developed by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins, not only the musically gifted child, but virtually any child, not just those with simple learning problems but those with severe or multiple handicaps, can respond, react, and participate in his own personality development and carry these results over into his daily life."</p>

<p>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.</p>
