[dead] Songwriting - Methods, Techniques
Foreword from the Book:
Music therapists have always recognized songs and singing as one of their main approaches within their work. Along with improvisation, listening, composing and performing, songs have had their natural place in the music therapist’s tool-box as a way of expressing and performing aspects of oneself as part of a process towards better health. Butwhat about songwriting? Can we say that the actual making of the song by the client or the process of co-creating a song together with the therapist has gained full recognition among the repertoire of methods in music therapy?
I can only answer for myself that after reading this book on songwriting, I must declare my own ignorance of what seems to stand out as one of the most powerful methods in music therapy.
