Read this textbook for a class that I am auditing this semester and thoroughly enjoyed it! There are so many gems of therapeutic wisdom and it solidified my thinking that music is the best medicine! 🎶
note: I read the 3rd edition

This book is very handy if you are an music therapist or if you want to learn about what music therapists do. If you are a music therapy student this is a good resource for studying for the CBMT.
