Karen Gold 'Songs without words: can music therapy in schools be a place where children with special needs can hear their inner worlds being heard?' A version of this paper was given in September 2011 at the Tavistock Institute's 3rd International Conference on the Emotional Well-being of Children in Schools. Karen Gold is a music therapist working in special and mainstream schools in Cambridgeshire. She is also doing psychotherapy training.
Stephen Haylett and Sarah Gummett –Hart Stephen Haylett and Sarah Gummett-Hart are music therapists working at Orchard Hill College, a further education college for young adults with Learning Disabilities. Our presentation will focus on the challenges and rewards of working within adult education (16-25) and may include some case examples.”
Ian Grundy Accommodating Difference in Music Therapy Practice
This presentation will focus on differences in race, gender, sexuality, disability and how these might be best accommodated in music therapy practice; it will conclude with some possible ways for us to work with and celebrate difference in our own practices. The presentation will be illustrated with clinical vignettes showing some of the cultural aspects and potential conflicts come across while working with children from inner-city mainstream schools.
Emily Young Emily has continued to teach Cello/Piano alongside being a music therapist for the last 5 years. She has been specifically asked to provide music lessons for clients facing challenges with learning disability and mental illness. This has lead Emily to find a client centred and flexible approach to 'therapeutic teaching'. Being willing to 'have a go' has resulted in supporting clients in song writing, composition and production of score and recordings. She will discuss one or two case studies to illustrate this therapy/teaching hybrid where the focus is on a positive musical interaction and an emotionally supportive musical experience.
