Body and Soul
MUSC270 SP

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.

MAJOR READINGS

Extracts from published material are distributed as the need arises. Written records of the students' research will routinely be made available to all members of the seminar.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
