Description
What comes to mind when you hear the words “Musical Therapy?” Is it peaceful, quiet music? Or meditative instrumentals?
These tranquil elements are also part of musical therapy, but it encompasses so much more. The definition of therapy is “treatment intended to relieve or heal.” Music can be used in so many ways, to do just that. God calls each of us to use our gifts and talents to glorify and honor Him in the healing of our communities and relationships.
In this book, you will discover that each letter in “M-U-S-I-C-A-L-T-H-E-R-A-P-Y” has a very unique meaning to aid in the understanding of musical therapy as a whole. Whether you use music to inspire, encourage, or bring harmony, Musical Therapy will help you focus on the power of music in light of the gracious love of our God.
Available in paperback and e-book.
