Music and Sound in the Healing Arts

Based on the pioneering work of internationally acclaimed author, musician and lecturer, John Beaulieu, this book takes you through a wonderful experience of how we hear sound, and how you can work with sound in your daily life for personal growth and healing.

Richly illustrated with pictures, stories, and the author's experience as composer and therapist, this book explores the history and practice of sound healing from ancient philosophies to the practical applications of therapy, religion, and art. Blending Eastern philosophies with Western practice, topics include mantras, toning, voice evaluation, tuning forks, and music listening.

Many experiential exercises are included. A chapter on how to use the Pythagorean tuning forks is included. It also contains guidelines and exercises for teaching and an evaluation of music therapy today.
