Abstract	We come to music therapy with musical expectations. Clients do. Therapists do. We come to music therapy with expectations colored by our personal history of music, which is - of course - embedded in culture. I came to music therapy more than 20 years ago with quite mixed expectations: preferring music with a rough edge, strong rhythms, and bold discords, but also longing for - though maybe not so consciously - the soft sound of romantic songs. The first sound of music therapy I ever heard was Paul Nordoffs improvisations. He died the year I "discovered" music therapy and I never heard his live playing, but recordings of the clinical work he did together with Clive Robbins were presented to me by the Norwegian pioneers of music therapy, and I was immediately fascinated by the rough and romantic sound of his music.
