Summary:

Approaching fieldwork, practica, and internships can be both exciting and frightening for music therapy students in training. This guide book addresses those uncertainties and invites students into a sequential learning process. From observation to assessment, and from planning to implementation and subsequent evaluation and documentation, the book provides three levels of involvement for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students. Modes of clinical work are explored as chapters delve into the use of performing and re-creating, improvising, listening, and composing as music therapy technique
