Songwriting: Methods, Techniques and Clinical Applications for Music Therapy Clinicians, Educators and Students

This was great for me to see the variety of song-writing styles used by a variety of therapists who work with a variety of populations ranging from pediatric hospital settings to brain injury patients. I really like that it is a practical book. The authors show how they apply their techniques to actual sessions. That helps me get a clearer picture. That helped me a lot to see what was actually going on. I have not gone through the whole book yet, but with what I have read so far, I am inspired to go to my sessions and try these ideas out.

Thank you.

This book is designed for those delivering workshops in songwriting (or working on an on-going basis using songwriting). Very good for information regarding various target groups and possible needs/concerns as a workshop leader. Berklee College of Music have some excellent books to augment this book, if you are interested in offering a complete, fleshed-out programme of songwriting courses/workshops.
