ask to Nordoff & Robbins if what u do is REALLY music therapy...

Music therapy needs a music therapist, without him there´s no healing. ´CAUSE IS A THERAPY NO A MOMENT WITH MUSIC.. THAT´S THE DIFFERENCE.

Hello Dr. Sacks! I hope you are enjoying my cd "Taking a Dive (Heart First)" which I gave you at the PDF Gala in New York in May. Would love to hear from you.

Interesting observation. I'm a music therapist...I guess they don't really need my job since there are IPODS. What the heck am I doing? Should have went to school for Cosmetology...I'd probably be making more money! Ha!!! HA!!!!

Wow! The liberator power of music on Parkinson is very similar to effect that it has on stuttering.

Oliver Sacks, is this really you? The person from the film The Awakenings? Or is this someon showing your video's?

I have a winner with P.D. and have shown some amazing results. Need deperately to repeat these results and need to talk to you about my discovery. Check out my video about Inclined Bed Therapy. A free drug free non-invasive method that works with P.D.
