+++What is Music Therapy?+++ Music therapy is the treatment of the whole person through planned personal interaction and the manipulation of the musical environment.  This definition is from the new textbook, Music Therapy in Principle and Practice, written by Mister Joe and Doctor Don Michel.  It is now available from the Publisher.   Recently the textbook was translated into Japanese.  My thanks to all who assisted with writing, publication, translation, and to my students at the university for testing the book during the development stage.  It is a well-written introductory book for those who want to learn about music therapy - written in a style that most anyone can understand.  Click on the book title above for more information.
