Voices Welcomes Interviews

This year we lost a wonderful music therapist – Helen Lindquist Bonny. She has been a creator of Guided Imagery and Music method, one of the most famous music therapy methods in the world. We decided to focus the November 1st issue of Voices on Helen Bonny’s life, work and music therapy method. We look for people who met her, knew her and whose professional life has been influenced by Helen Bonny.

At present, we are preparing a new interview “series”, called “Famous People”, about a number of historically important music therapists whom many of us knew and worked with but there is a risk that the next generation will not know. You can help us in the development of the world music therapy community's knowledge about well-known and not so well-known music therapists, music healers, musicians and other colleagues supportive of music therapy by interviewing them. We would also welcome historical information about the development or transformation of music therapy in your region.

Please let us know of anyone that you might be interested in interviewing or of other ideas for an interview by contacting one of the Interview Co-Editors, Leslie Bunt, UK (), Barbara Wheeler, USA () and Krzysztof Stachyra, Poland ().

Due to the focus on Helen Bonny's life and work in the next issue of Voices, we will not have any of our other interviews in this issue. Regular interviews will resume in the March 1, 2011 issue.
