The Way of Music

The Way of Music opens new pathways into the world of improvisational music therapy.

Kalani Das draws from within and outside of the profession to guide the reader through a progressive and holistic process of sound exploration, beginning with the most basic elements of musical expression, through myriad music-based clinical techniques that culminate in an expanded and dynamic view of how the music therapist shapes improvisational experiences to better serve his/her clients. 

Designed to be used either as a university textbook or a professional resource, the book includes a link to online resources, which include 90+ recorded examples of musical improvisation frameworks and clinical improvisation techniques.
