My review on Amazon:
Music Has Power in Senior Wellness and Healthcare could be retitled Music Has Power ANYWHERE. While it is a great primer for any senior entity looking to bring music therapy into their toolkit, beyond that, it has great advice for anyone looking to use music to help themselves or a loved one. Whether to relieve pain, alleviate anxiety or just appreciate music more deeply, this book will have you wanting to listen to more music and diverse music and music that touches your life. It is a great playbook for senior living. But after reading, if you leave with a deeper appreciation of the impact of music on healing, the book will be more than worth it. Congratulations Dr. Tomaino.
