The majority of music therapy work with children takes place in schools. This book documents the wealth and diversity of work that music therapists are doing in educational settings across the UK. It shows how, in recent years, music therapy has changed and grown as a profession, and it provides an insight into the trends that are emerging in this area in the 21st century.
Collating the experiences of a range of music therapists from both mainstream and special education backgrounds, Music Therapy in Schools explains the procedures, challenges and benefits of using music therapy in an educational context. These music therapists have worked with children of all ages and abilities from pre-school toddlers in nursery schools to teenagers preparing for further education, and address specific issues and disabilities including working with children with emotional and behavioural problems, and autistic spectrum disorders.

For teachers who have an interest in music therapy, this will be an interesting resource book, with a number of case studies providing interesting information about the ways in which this form of therapy can address, the needs of individual children... It is an interesting and thought provoking book which offers the reader new insights into music therapy.'
I can recommend this book wholeheartedly; we can all learn from it - all who are connected with children and young people in education, music, health and social care.
