Raising Harmony: Music Therapy for Young Children, Wakefield, Massachusetts
While music therapists are well trained, some are challenged to creatively and flexibly respond in settings where the therapist and client do not share the same social, cultural, language, and musical background. In this podcast, Elizabeth Schwartz shares her thoughts and suggestions on how the unique qualities of music make it a perfect experience for finding common experience and shared meaning for all.
