Abstract
This article uses music as a metaphor for family therapy process and practice. The overture begins looking at the family using the symphony as an analogy highlighting insight into musical improvisation as integral to the progression of acceptance to change. Several other key music therapy strategies discussed include therapeutic songwriting, song discussions, and lyric substitution, all within the framework of family therapy. The finale concludes with a caution on the fundamental importance of building rapport rather than being too technique‐focused, for music itself is ultimately the social glue that binds people together.
