Summary:
Dr. Diamond’s approach to using music for holistic health is different from regular music therapy. While music therapy is concerned with the alleviating of particular symptoms through music, Dr. Diamond’s approach is focused solely on raising the Life Energy of the person. His approach is also quite different from conventional music-teaching with its emphasis on the left-brained and technical. Instead he suggests that the right term for his work with music is mentoring, which, he says “implies a higher grade of teaching: teaching and More.” Music mentoring helps a person connect more deeply with his or her Muse – the deepest part of the self – as they’re making music, and allows them to find the true Pulse of the piece. The process is not complicated. It consists, in essence, of getting the ego out of the way and letting the Muse emerge.

Beyond Music Therapy and Music as Entertainment.
Dr. Diamond inspires us toward a sense and vision of music that is truly for a Higher Purpose. What that Higher Purpose actually is, he leaves for us to explore, decide for ourselves, and share with others. Musical Mentoring is going deep into the heart of Music through the Muse to our our deepest and truest selves — as well as the deepest and truest selves of those around us. Simple, yet profound.
