"Examines the
power of using popular music, something people already listen to, as a
way for people to express their feelings. Includes examples of
therapeutic messages in popular music as well as original music by
Freudian Slip, therapeutic rock band." This music is used to
carry therapeutic messages to encourage positive changes in children
and adolescents. "Matthew J. Bush, MSW, LSW is an experienced clinical
and state licensed

"Music
is as natural as sun or rain. I'd hate to imagine our world
without it, for my heart is a song."

I have used this music for years
and seen firsthand, its powerful calming effect upon children.
They love it and I still love it as much now, as when I first heard
it. The deep percussion sounds of the drums combine with native
flutes and wilderness sounds to make music that just invites you to
listen. The native drum music is enjoyed by children and adults alike.
These 3 albums have
received rave reviews from Billboard. Of the three, the
Drum Medicine album
is the most calming and
grounding, so I often start with this one. Carrie

Please note: Due to the
deep resonating pitches in the music,
this music should never be listened to over headphones. They
should only played on stereos or in "open air." I've
noticed that frequently children like to move close to the
speaker and listen to it at a higher volume to feel the music
resonating in their bodies.
