Rick Soshensky presents a groundbreaking introduction to music’s power to heal and transform, weaving collections of uplifting case studies from music therapy practices with ideas from spiritual traditions, philosophies, psychological theorists, and music therapy theorists and researchers. Going beyond just theoretical and clinical information, The Music Therapy Studio centers the stories and experiences of people with disabilities—marginalized people for whom the world allows little time or place but whose extraordinary musical journeys teach us about the unseen depths and indomitably of the human spirit.

In conversational language, Soshensky uses these stories to introduce the concept of the music therapy studio and to investigate core concepts in music-centered approaches to music therapy, where the experience of music as a creative art with clients has intrinsic value that supersedes diagnostic labeling and behavioral goal-setting. The result is a unique and inspiring book that leads us towards a deeper understanding and appreciation of music therapy and music’s spiritual benefits.

Rick Soshensky, MA, LCAT, MT-BC, NRMT, is a nationally known music therapist. He has lectured internationally and published numerous journal articles and textbook chapters. He operates the Music Therapy Studio in his hometown of Kingston, NY and teaches in the music therapy departments at SUNY New Paltz and Molloy College.
