Sound and Music are Therapeutic and Healing
Dr. Terence Elliott, artist, scholar and certified sound therapist, in his new book The Healing Power of Sound for the Black Community, has gifted us with a profoundly informative and scientifically grounded understanding of the healing power of sound and music. He not only provides the theoretical framework for sound therapy but also guided healing practices for daily exercises. Individuals, Community, Professional Athletes, and other Professionals will appreciate the insights and wisdom he brings to the physical and mental benefits of therapeutic sounds and music. In his own words, “From the coded spirituals sung under the weight of enslavement to the bass-heavy hip-hop beats that pulse through city blocks, sound has carried not only rhythm, but identity, power, and healing” For our personal and collective health, this is a book we need. ~Prof. Fritz Pointer
Heal Our World
This is a beautifully written introduction to the vitality and healing power of Black music. From its roots in African art forms to Hip Hop today, the author describes the roles that song and music have played as vehicles for expression, enlightenment, and empowerment in African American communities. It is also a personal story of how Dr. Elliott’s life has been enriched by the poets, musicians, singers, composers, MCs, and DJs of the Harlem Renaissance, Black Arts, and Hip Hop movements. He is a caring musician and music educator that is committed to the work of rebuilding urban communities through song.
