Pretty sure Resonance increases the casting range of spells, not the AoE radius, and considering all songs are Self AoE's, it has no effect.

That being said, considering the BRD will usually find it's place to be among the ranged DDs Resonance can be very useful for throwing Stoneskins or backup Cures on the tank without having to get too close.
