Paid in Full Our latest CD, "Paid in Full," includes 17 "Kickin' & Chillin'" songs. Just as churches have always taken non-gospel songs and put in their own messages, we re-introduce many gospel songs that were previously popular but not known by today's youth. From the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" we have many songs on our music CDs, as well as in live concerts, which have been given a musical "face lift" for people of all ages to enjoy! Paul's new CD, "Paid in Full" was released on Valentines Day, 2009. It will only be available in hard copy since Paul wants everyone to be able to grasp the true message of the songs by having the words of the songs that are on the insert as all the music on this collection is instrumental. Watch for our next projects, "Hymns for the Heart", the hottest and cleanest Cardio workout you'll ever have, and "The Twelve Lost Hymns", a collection of hymns so old noone ever hears anymore. "Hymns for the Heart" is going to be an awesome seamless Dance Mix collection designed for the most intense cardio workout based on tunes you already know and love. The album will include warm-up, graduated tempo and cool-down. Bring plenty of water, 'cause this one's gonna make you HOT! "The Twelve Lost Hymns" will be a collection of hymns tunes so old noone has ever heard them brought into a 21st century genre'.
| | Music therapy for people with autistic spectrum disorder People with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulties with communication, behaviour and/or social interaction. Music therapy uses music and its elements to enable people to communicate and to express their feelings. In this way music therapy addresses some of the core problems of people with ASD. This review set out to assess the evidence for the effectiveness of music therapy for individuals with ASD. Three small studies were included which examined the short-term effect of brief music therapy interventions for autistic children. Music therapy was superior to "placebo" therapy with respect to verbal and gestural communicative skills, but it was uncertain whether there was an effect on behavioural outcomes. The included studies were encouraging, but of limited applicability to clinical practice. More research with better design, using larger samples, in more typical clinical settings is needed to strengthen the clinical applicability of the results and to examine how enduring the effects of music therapy are. When applying the results of this review to practice, it is important to note that the application of music therapy requires specialised academic and clinical training.
