his textbook evolved from a need to identify and define the clinical skills that are required of a music therapist or a student-in-training to practice within pediatrics. Unlike other texts that describe clinical practices, this text contains Tactivities and materials that lead to the acquisition of clinical skills. Chapters are arranged to reflect a routine that music therapists frequently adhere to when providing services in medical settings: conducting patient assessments, making referral decisions and conveying those decisions to other medical professionals, implementing traditional music therapy sessions in the playroom and at bedside, and providing specialized patient-centered interventions during various diagnostic and treatment procedures.

Of special interest is the inclusion of specific protocols for clinical assessment and specially designed music interventions, along with all materials required to conduct the interventions, which appear in a user-friendly format. Furthermore, these protocols provide a foundation to establish evidence-based practices in an increasingly data-driven healthcare industry. Each chapter also contains common headings and subheadings with associated icons that easily guide the reader through relevant research literature, questions that promote thought and discussion, simulations that encourage the development of clinical skills, and fieldwork assignments that promote transference of those skills. Therapists, educators, students, and other medical professionals who use this textbook can gain an understanding of the basis for and applications of music therapy protocols and interventions. These professionals can also comprehend the necessity for clearly articulating a rationale for implementing music therapy, value the observation of interventions that can be highly successful, and acknowledge and promote the professional practice of music in medicine.

Combining sound pedagogy with recent research findings, this new edition has been updated and expanded to reflect changes in music therapy practice over the past nine years. Part I includes definitions of music therapy, indicates typical clinical settings, traces historical developments within the profession, and describes how humans respond to musical stimuli. Part II is devoted to specific clinical populations most frequently served by music therapists, and therapeutic approaches suitable for different clientele. Part III, professional issues in music therapy, gives the reader information about the music therapy treatment process, professional ethics, and research methodology commonly employed by music therapists. Although written primarily as an introduction to the field, it is also appropriate for use by music therapy clinicians and practitioners in other helping professions who wish to learn more about how music is used with persons who have illnesses or disabilities. This book was written especially for dedicated students and professionals who believe they can make a difference in the lives of these people who have special needs.

Information subject to change page 87 A Resounding Note of Appreciation... from Conference Chair Marcia Humpal acific Melodies: Catching Waves to the Future never could have roared to the shore without the help and dedication of countless Pindividuals. I am honored to have served as your 2009 conference chair; yet it truly has been a team effort. THANK YOU: First and foremost, to all who attended our 11th annual AMTA conference. In these very difficult economic times, each of you recognized the importance of coming together as a community of music therapists for a time of both professional and personal renewal. Your ideas, suggestions and your very presence blended with the sunshine and ushered in beautiful music and experiences that will long be remembered. You shaped this conference and now will take back with you new skills and inspiration to confidently move our profession into the future.

To the 2009 Program Review Committee: Brian Abrams, Amy Furman, Jean Nemeth and Robin Rio -- for reading, digesting, contemplating and evaluating a record number of proposals as they helped develop a diverse program that addressed the needs and interests of all aspects of our profession; and to Doug Keith who served as our precise and articulate Abstract Editor.

To the chairs of our Specialized Trainings and Institutes: Jayne Standley, Ed Roth, Judy Simpson, Bill Matney, Kalani, Carolyn Koebel, and Mike Marcionetti, Suzanne Hanser, and Susan Mandel (and their featured speakers) who presented in-depth training, taught us many new skills and engaged in cutting-edge informational exchanges that will help us move confidently into the next decade of the 21st century. To the presenters of our CMTEs and Concurrent Sessions as well as the Clinical Practice Forum and the Research Poster Session (chaired by Cliff Madsen) -- you provided a wide range of relevant and intriguing topics that educated and enlightened us. To the dynamic leaders of our SOS (Sharing Our Strategies) Sessions: Ruthlee Adler, Abbey Dvorak, Jennifer Geiger, Virginia Kallay, Petra Kern, Beth McLaughlin, Jean Nemeth, Elizabeth Schwartz, Angie Snell, Annette Whitehead-Pleaux, and the organizers of the Networking Lunches and International Forums – you filled our minds with ideas and facilitated lively discussion and music-making.

To Dr. Aniruddh Patel for sharing his brilliance and his inspiring look into the musical brain, and to Margaret Sears and committee members Mary Adamek and Bill Davis for making his Sears Lecture possible. To the Music on My Mind” panelists Alexander Graur, Suzanne Hanser, John Iversen, Wendy Magee, Ed Roth, Corene Hurt-Thaut, and Concetta Tomaino– for their stimulating reflections and visions of blending music therapy and neuroscience.

To Paul Nolan who facilitated The Music Therapist Unplugged, to Kalani who led us in our Spirit Dance, to Barbara Dunn, Maureen Hearns, Lisa Jackert, Robin Rio, and Jodi Winnwalker for organizing the Chant Circle, and to Christine Stevens and Kathy Quain, energetic leaders of the Drum Circle – you helped unleash the creative genius in each of us. To Kalani, The Soloist Foundation, the Conference Choir (directed by Barbara Dunn), our song contest winners Susan Gardstrom, Tracy Richardson, and Leslie Hunter and Ken Medema (and judges Cliff Keller, Dominac Pesce, Tony Fleet, Darci Fontenot, and Amy Andrews), the Montgomery High School Mariachi group and the Marly Waak Trio who made our Opening Night festive, participants in the Cabaret and Jam Rooms, and the incredibly talented Ukulele Society of America who performed at our closing session -- your music and stories were ongoing gifts throughout both our organized and spontaneous events.

To our students and their advisor, Petra Kern for enthusiastically offering technology tutoring sessions; to our exhibitors for providing instruments and equipment for our sessions; to our Silent Auction committee and donors who gave us a fun and beneficial shopping experience; and to the management and staff of the Town and Country Resort for making us feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful San Diego venue.

To Vice President Elect Amy Furman -- special heart-felt appreciation for tremendous assistance and encouragement along this journey; and to all AMTA Board of Directors, Assembly of Delegates, Regional Presidents and committee chairs and members for your support and your important work throughout the conference and the entire year.

To local co-chair Barbara Reuer and committee chairs Paula Best, Deb Cowan, Angela Neve, Rachel Gant, Jay Jay Lim, Julie Guy, Tiffany Wyndham, Bren Yule, Allison Swain, and Davida Price -- you and your committee members were such helpful and gracious hosts. To our remarkable AMTA national office staff – Andi Farbman, Al Bumanis, Dianne Wawrzusin, Angie Elkins, Judy Simpson, Jane Creagan, Cindy Smith, Rebecca Smith, Tawna Grasty, Barbara Else, Judy Kaplan and Jonah Rosenberg – whether on the front lines or behind the scenes, you fulfill your responsibilities with professionalism and enthusiasm. Special thanks must go to Al Bumanis whose knowledge and business acumen is invaluable and whose calm manner and friendly style made this journey a very comfortable one, indeed. So, until we meet again, may Pacific Melodies linger in your hearts and may you ride high on the waves to future fulfillment and success. page 88 Information subject to change Thanks to Our Conference Sponsors
