摘要：During the preparation of this issue of Approaches, major social, political and economic shifts have taken place not only in Greece, but also in other countries across the world, often with adverse consequences on people's everyday living. In times of crisis, such as the present one, the question 'what is the potential role of music in human life.' becomes crucial. What can music offer to promote not only personal wellbeing, but also social renewal and transformation. What can music practitioners (such as music therapists, music teachers, and other professionals within the field of music and health) offer to the local communities within which they live and work. In times when existing social structures are deconstructed, when political and economic systems fail, when people's hope, faith and social bonds are weakened, what can music practitioners actually bring. As I seek answers to the questions above, two words come to mind: music and love. Some examples of attributing practical meaning and applying these words in life can be found in the work of visionary individuals, such as Boxill, Geuter and Robbins.
