The Music Effect is an essential resource for music therapists, clinicians, educators and anyone with an interest in holistic therapy.
This book explains what "music" is, how it is processed by and affects the body, and how it can be applied in a range of physiological and psychological conditions. Rhythm, melody, timbre, harmony, dynamics, and form, and their effects on the body are explored in detail, helping practitioners create effective therapy interventions that complement other treatment systems. Case studies and evidence from research and practice show how music therapy can benefit people with, among other conditions, autistic spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, schizophrenia, and sensory difficulties, among other conditions.
