The theme of this book is presented in chapters covering basic
principles in theory and practice. Three individuals with a hearing
impairment report on their development, experience and personal
approaches to music. These are followed by chapters on developmental
topics, an overview of music in education and therapy, and insight into
recent research on music perception. Different educational and
therapeutic approaches using music and/or movement relevant to different
age groups are described and extended in reports on music and movement
with various groups - from preschool children and family projects, to
school children and teenagers.
