Summary

"Why is music so important to most of us? How does music help us both in our everyday lives, and in the more specialist context of music therapy? This book suggests a new way of approaching these topical questions, drawing from Ansdell's long experience as a music therapist, and from the latest thinking on music in everyday life [and] leads Ansdell to present a new interdisciplinary framework showing how musical experiences can help all of us build and negotiate identities; make intimate non-verbal relationships; belong together in community; and find moments of transcendence and meaning"--, Provided by publisher
