Announcing a new course on" Music as Therapy"


I want to tell you about a wonderful new course that will be offered online this summer by my dear friend and mentor, Dr. Arthur Harvey.  The course will be quite comprehensive and cover many aspects of healing with music, how music affects the mind-body, the brain and lots, lots more.  The course is being offered through the University of Hawaii where Arthur taught for many years, but you can take it from the comfort of your own living room!
To learn more about it, go to www.musicforhealthservices.com.  

The photo above is of Dr. Harvey playing the piano in an operating room!  Sign up for this course if you want to study with an international leader in the field of music and medicine!

Do you know about "Second Life"?

Two days ago I was interviewed by Dave Schwartz of Music Academy Online. The hour-long interview was done in Second Life, a technology that gives humans animated avatars on-screen. If you'd like to watch/listen to this and learn about how I went from being a musicologist to being a clinical musicologist, click http://www.slcn.tv/music-academy-onlive-dr-alice-cash-ph-d. I really think you'll enjoy this one!
