Music for Life

Someone, somewhere, must be holding a course for music therapists on how to write interesting and engaging books and Gary Ansdell must have attended. Here is another book joining the ranks of recent publications that give a clear and exciting insight into their work.

Therapy Weekly

...rich mixture of philosophical discussion and descriptive case studies... This book is a significant addition to the literature about Music Therapy...interesting and compelling to read, and challenges long established concepts of Music Therapy... There is much original thinking in this book... The case studies are vivid and include work with many different people

British Journal of Music Therapy

...a fascinating and moving book, describing an approach to working with adults, based on the principles of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy... The book reads easily and there is a relaxed balance between the insights and issues raised in the text as well as 'seeing' how both therapist and client learn in a joint process.
