Acknowledgements

The authors would like to thank:

•The children, adults and families who have taken part in music therapy sessions and have agreed to be included in this book.

•The children, adults and families who have contributed to the book through writing, commenting on the work or allowing photographs to be printed.

•The multi-disciplinary teams and the colleagues who have supported the music therapy clinical work.

•The music therapy students who have been on placement with the authors and have provided practical help and inspiration for the writing.

The editors would like to thank:

•The authors, without whom the book could not exist. With over 50 contributors it has been a lengthy process with many prolonged exchanges of emails. Thank you for your patience and endurance. Your excitement and enthusiasm about your instruments shines through and has helped us to keep going.

•Alan Turry for helping us find instrumental music therapists in the USA and Italy, and for consistently providing support, help and humour when it was most needed.

•Alex Street for helping out with the unexpectedly lengthy process of including note ranges for each of the chapters.

•Sarah Rodgers for writing such an original, thought-provoking and moving foreword at very short notice.

•Phyllis Champion for once again coming to our rescue with her insightful, thorough and always thoughtful editing.

Amelia, Jo and Dawn have thoroughly enjoyed working together. The editing process has been much enhanced by Jo’s delicious wine and cheese.

Amelia is grateful to her colleagues at the Croft Child and Family Unit and at Anglia Ruskin University for their support and patience. She would also like to thank her now grown-up children and her husband, David, for their enduring help and love.

Jo would like to thank her parents for their support and encouragement in all her musical endeavours, her children Charlie and Natasha for their patience and understanding, and her husband, Hugh, for being wonderfully supportive.

Dawn would like to thank her husband David for his love and support – and for his patience as she burned the midnight oil.

Dawn, Amelia and Jo would also like to thank David Loombe for his patience, artistic flair and diplomacy in organising all three of us and our instruments to create our cover photograph.
