In the early 90’s, I had my first contact with music therapy through a workshop that was taught by two respected professionals in Brazil: Cecília Conde, music educator; and Lia Rejane Mendes Barcellos, music therapist and author of the current book. Cecilia Conde, to whom Lia Rejane has dedicated her book, was the owner of Conservatório Brasileiro de Música which became one of the major centers for music therapy training in Brazil. The theoretical foundations of this training program were influenced by the backgrounds of its coordinators: Cecilia Conde and Doris Hoyer de Carvalho. Cecilia was a Jungian professor and Carvalho a Humanist one. Lia Rejane completed her studies at Conservatório Brasileiro de Música in 1975.
