Great exercises

As an artist and therapist who facilitates creativity groups, I found many wonderful musical exercises in this book and have used them in my retreats with great results. The author is very creative and his exercises encourage the development of spontaneity, listening to musical subtleties, and moving beyond inhibition in expression. Sometimes his take is remeniscent of John Cage. He did his work in the 1950's with children, so the context is odd, but don't be put off by that.
