This weekend Introduction to Music Therapy course includes a combination of case presentations, presentation of relevant theory, and practical sessions. Many audio and visual examples will be shown of actual session material, which promotes honest and interesting discussion about the role of the music therapist, and enables participants to explore their feelings about the work

Intended Audience

This weekend will be useful for anyone wishing to find out more about music therapy. It details how music therapists work in a variety of different settings. It will be particularly beneficial to those who are considering training as a music therapist as it will offer them the chance to reflect on their motivations and skills.

Participants will be expected to engage in small group discussions and there are several practical sessions where participants will be encouraged to explore and play a wide range of percussion instruments. Comfortable clothing should be worn and participants can bring their own instruments if they wish.

Outcomes

The course is run by two experienced music therapists. They bring a wide variety of clinical experience and will present casework with children and adults in physical and learning disability, mental health, in the NHS, education and private settings. Both tutors have taught students for many years and Tessa Watson is the course leader for the MA course at Roehampton.

This course provides a detailed introduction to music therapy, specifically the approach taught on the post graduate MA course at Roehampton University. The presentation on training will be of particular interest to those wishing to undertake a career in Music Therapy. A certificate of attendance will be available at the end of the weekend.
