Description:
In this chapter, I explore the multidimensional premise behind the power of music as well as the practical use of music in counseling. I distinguish between music therapy and the use of music in counseling. In addition, I explain and illustrate how music can be used with a variety of populations (e.g., from children to older adults) and in various settings (e.g., from clinics to educational environments). The use of music with other creative arts is also discussed.

Objectives:

1. Explore how counselors can utilize music as a bridge for client's to develop new insights and behaviors
2. Examine the multidimensional premise behind the power of music as well as the practical use of music in counseling
