Editorial Reviews

Review
In her book, she superbly captures the many components of providing music at the bedside, whether during transition times or mending moments... [the book] will now become a sound reference for our students. -- Christina Tourin, Director Int'l Harp Therapy Program

Stella's writings clarify, giving detail and definition to a complex subject. Researchers will gain insight into styles of therapeutic music and better understand patients for whom it can be used. -- Laurie Riley, CMP, Co-founder, The Music for Healing and Transition Program and author, "Body, Mind and Music"

Product Description
This guide is for anyone who wants to play live healing music to the ailing at the bedside with empowerment. Learn how, by manipulating the three major principles of music: rhythm, harmony and melody, music can effect the body in five basic ways, both physiological and psychological. This book illustrates what musical instruments are appropriate. You will learn how to assess the patients immediate needs and how to address them. For the more advanced, simple modal theory (to play contemplative chant) and nine examples from the three traditional music strains are included, plus much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Healing Musician: A Guide to Playing Healing Music , August 14, 2004
This is an excellent book! I am currently a student in the Music for Healing and Transition Program, and this book perfectly dovetails with the classes. It describes in detail many topics needed to become a healing musician. I especially liked the chapter dealing with modal music and arrhythmic music. Also included are a CD and the sheet music to demonstrate the categories of music described in Ms. Benson's book. Anyone in the MHTP program needs to have this book!!
