When Music Happens

By Paul Lauzon

When Music Happens makes a unique and significant contribution to the fields of music theory, music therapy, and the philosophy of music. Paul Lauzon, who for many years was a New Brunswick resident, is a highly accomplished singer/songwriter with decades of experience performing and recording, as well as longtime clinical practitioner of music therapy. When Music Happens includes a poetic exploration of music in its many modes of experience and expression. In addition, the book includes an incisive essay that details "the anatomy of a musical being" while, at the same time, creating "a music systems theory of music therapy." The author asks and answers the question: "Why is music effective as therapy"? Paul Lauzon is the founding professor of the Music Therapy Program at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
