What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is the systematic, scientific, and creative

Law of Entrainment
Term from physics- if two rhythms are nearly the
same and in close proximity, they will always
entrain or move together.
Iso Principle
Matching the mood, rhythm, or physiological
state of a person with music and gradually
changing that state using music.
(Altshuler 1948)
Law of Entrainment
Term from physics- if two rhythms are nearly the
same and in close proximity, they will always
entrain or move together.
Entrainment is used in two ways:
➢ Altering mood or emotional state
➢ Altering body rhythms- rhythmic entrainment
Deana's Story
Ritual & Ceremony
Sacred Space
Collin's Story
The Unbroken Circle
There are loved ones in the glory whose dear forms you often miss
When you close your earthly story will you join them in their bliss
Will the circle be unbroken by and by by and by
In a better home awaiting in the sky Lord in the sky
In the joyous days of childhood oft' they told of wond'rous love
Pointed to the dying Saviour now they dwell with him above
Will the circle be unbroken...
You can picture happy gath'rings round the fireside long ago
And you think of tearful partings when they left you here below
Will the circle be unbroken...
I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although he spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that he be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for his loving care
I prayed the most of all!
