Der nächste Schritt ist immer fällig

This book is dedicated to a central subject of music therapy: it paints a multifaceted and highly topical picture of improvisation in music therapy. At the same time, it is a specialist book developed along the work of the improvisation teacher and theorist Eckhard Weymann, unmistakably characterised by his profile and character. Weymann's departure from the management of a renowned music therapy training centre provided the impetus for this book. The authors of the contributions include renowned academics and practitioners of music therapy, many of whom have enriched the professional world for decades with their own significant works on improvisation. 'Improvisation is playing in the game.' Fritz Hegi "The course of events mysteriously produces an order inherent in the work. This arrangement is neither arbitrary nor bottomless." Frank Grootaers "Improvisation. You can't do that. But you can create the space, the space for personal creativity to unfold, to allow new possibilities to emerge." Johannes Oehlmann
