The CD contains samples of music performed in special education classrooms. The purpose of the recording is twofold: (1) to offer a resource of music material and suggested ways to use it as a therapeutic tool, and (2) to promote understanding of music therapy as a treatment modality. What you hear is indicative and illustrative of the use of music as a therapeutic tool, not the music therapy process. It is representative of the variety of music that, in the course of the author's experience as a music therapist, proved effective with a wide variety of clients.
