Abstract

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the essence of an intergenerational choir experience for older adults and student music therapists. Data were gathered through a series of open-ended individual interviews with older adult participants (n = 10) and student participants (n = 5). Analysis of data revealed four emerging themes common to both older adults and students: mutual learning, social bonding and support, feelings of accomplishment, and appreciation and enjoyment. Emerging themes unique to the older adult community members were that (a) participation challenges came from differences in musical culture; (b) intergenerational choir promoted experience of emotional health and helped maintain an active lifestyle; and (c) community members were passionate about recruiting new members to expand the choir. Emerging themes unique to the student music therapists were that (a) intergenerational choir provided unique ensemble experiences and (b) students reported positive changes in perception of older adults. Implications of intergenerational music engagement for music therapy clinical practice, research, and education are discussed.

代际合唱团:老年人和学生音乐治疗师生活经验的定性探索。

这项现象学研究的目的是探讨老年人和学生音乐治疗师的代际合唱体验的本质。数据是通过对老年人参与者(n = 10)和学生参与者(n = 5)的一系列开放式个人访谈收集的。数据分析揭示了老年人和学生共同的四个新兴主题:相互学习、社会联系和支持、成就感、欣赏和享受。老年社区成员特有的新主题是:(a)参与挑战来自音乐文化的差异;(b)代际合唱团促进情感健康体验，帮助保持积极的生活方式;(c)社区成员热衷于招募新成员来扩大合唱团。学生音乐治疗师独特的新兴主题是(a)代际合唱团提供独特的合奏体验，(b)学生报告对老年人的看法发生了积极变化。讨论了代际音乐参与对音乐治疗临床实践、研究和教育的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
