Reviews
What I love about the MuSense approach to music therapy is its absolute grounding in the human body:the anatomical parts of the body, the brain's neuronal connections, the biological need human beings have for companionship ... All music therapists who are looking for a practical book that offers new ways to approach their craft should find this manual of interest. -- Dr. M. Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist and founder of the organisation connected baby
With a wealth of solid information and detailed explanation, Adler and Samsonova-Jellison have provided valuable inspiration and insight into reaching these clients who may at times seem unreachable.
