Involving voices across the span of several continents, this is a truly international publication. The writing bridges the areas of music therapy, community music and self-use of music by foregrounding diverse and complex participant experiences in a refreshing way. The book is divided in two: first the 'gentle curation' of lived experience, and second, diverse theoretical and practical reflections on the contents. This allows the book to be explored in a number of ways.
