An overview of beliefs, traditions and techniques associated with the use of music to promote human well-being: physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual. In addition to material normally included under "music therapy," the course encompasses exoteric and esoteric practices from many traditions. The intent is to be maximally inclusive. The course is a pure seminar. Each participant conducts a term-long investigation of a particular problem and of music-therapeutic means for solving that problem. Most class meetings will consist of reports by the participants on their investigations and of critical discussions of the works in progress. The goal will be to produce a book-length series of original essays representive of the broad range of the field of music and health. Individuals who have themselves experienced the therapeutic value of music or who have conditions which they believe might benefit from music therapy are especially welcome in the course.

MAJOR READINGS

Extracts from published material are
distributed as the need arises. Students are encouraged to
raid the libraries, and one of the jobs of the seminar will
be to put together an extensive bibliography. Written
records of the students' research will routinely be made
available to all members of the seminar.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

No examinations. Term paper. Attendance mandatory.
