An intimate connection exists in music between
composition and improvisation. Both use similar structural resources, such as
formal procedures of harmonic progression, melodic construction, and rhythmic
order. Composition, however, is free from any demands of immediacy, whereas
improvisation is the creation of music in the moment and from moment to
moment-composed in the living now.
To practice "creative music therapy" is to live
at the threshold of artistic and developmental potential. It invites therapists
to trust music-making-"music-ing"-as a means of reaching out and
searching within, and as an instrument of clinical research. Learn how
intuition determines the clinical approach and inspiration for using music in
therapy, the significance of the quality of expression achieved, and the
importance of order in its form.
