About this title

Synopsis

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 Music therapy can build towards a relationship with even the most withdrawn child and help him in finding his mode of communication.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."
