This course presents 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.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
