Music therapists are trained to use their first study instrument in
clinical practice, yet existing literature focuses almost
exclusively on the use of piano, basic percussion and voice. This
illuminating book brings together international music therapists
who use a diverse range of musical instruments in their clinical
work: the clarinet, the piano accordion, the flute, the cello, the
trumpet and flugelhorn, the bassoon, the violin, the viola, the
harp, the guitar, lower brass instruments (the trombone and the
euphonium), the oboe, the saxophone and bass instruments (double
bass and bass guitar). Each therapist reflects on their
relationship with their instrument and the ways in which they use
it in therapeutic settings, discussing its advantages and
disadvantages in a variety of clinical populations: children and
adolescents, adults with learning disabilities, adults with mental
health problems and older people. This will be essential reading
for any music therapist or student music therapist who uses or is
interested in using a musical instrument in their work, and will be
of interest to other caring and healthcare professionals, teachers,
musicians and carers wanting to learn more about instrumental music
therapy.
The use of music therapy is long established with people with
Autistic Spectrum Conditions. The combination of using music and
relationship work in person-centred approaches supports the three
main areas of difficulty people with autism often experience;
social interaction, communication and imagination. Current research
supports the positive psychological benefits of music therapy when
people with autism spectrum conditions engage with music therapy.
This book celebrates the richness of music therapy approaches and
brings together the voices of practitioners in the UK. With a
strong focus on practice-based evidence it showcases clinicians,
researchers and educators working in a variety of settings across
the lifespan.
