This book is intended for students who would like to understand the essentials of Music Therapy with the framework of Indian music structure. At the same time the book tries to give a direction to them for digging dipper into the subject and research more on Music Therapy. For convenience of reading, the book is divided in three sections covering the essentials required for a professional music therapist, the origin of Indian music Therapy practices and basics of designing music therapy.This book attempts ‘linking the sources to the practice of music therapy’. Many musicology researches are being done (and already done) on ancient texts; also healing aspects of Indian music is written about by scholars. Here in this book the author's intention is to string together many elements and techniques of India's age old traditional music into a single thread and see if that makes a complete therapeutic model; and then try relating those to today’s music therapy practices with Indian music.
