It was conducted on three autistic boys between eight and eleven years old. The aim of the project was to try to help the boys to integrate into the normal primary situation by means of individual assistance given by home tutors and a music therapist The parents were involved in the project and received help or even treatment at the clinic. The general aim was: to help the children to recover their spontaneity; to study and develop their individual potentials; to help them to catch, up with their delayed emotional maturation. The greatest flexibility of approach and methods was essential to the success of the scheme.","PeriodicalId":101579,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132601665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"A Proposition for the Didactics of Music Therapy Improvisation","authors":"Jaakko Erkkilä","doi":"10.1080/08098130009477982","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08098130009477982","url":null,"abstract":"Improvisation is one of the most important concepts of music therapy. At the same time it is very complex and qualitative by nature. For this reason, it is somewhat difficult to teach, especially if the audience is expecting the traditional lectures on the topic. During many years of teaching introductory courses of music therapy, the author has developed a method of teaching focusing on in-depth comprehension of the nature of improvisation. This article is based on the lectures given by the author in Sandane, Norway, in November 1998. The article can be seen as an attempt to connect the experiential aspects and the theoretical aspects of improvisation in one \"package \" so that students may deepen their comprehension in a relatively short time even if they do not have too much previous knowledge of music therapy. The basic approach of this article is, broadly speaking, psychodynamic. The theoretical part is based on a three-dimensional model (3D-model) developed by the author. Altogether five observation tasks — visual, musical, free association, polarity profile, and dynamic forms are presented, each of which has a connection with the 3D-model. This method is suitable for teaching purposes in relatively large groups (20-25 persons maximum).","PeriodicalId":101579,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129159410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These children often show severe emotional distress that is observable through consistent evaluation. The children's hopes need to be restored and their mental health rejuvenated. Several Kenyan music teachers and paramedics including myself came together in August 1998, and thought about new ways and means of helping these children. One way we thought was worth trying was music therapy. This we thought could be achieved by incorporating a music therapy component into their co-curricular (after school) activities. We thought singing and dancing after school could be a good stepping stone for the provision of therapy to the kids in the refugee camps.","PeriodicalId":101579,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidsskrift for Musikkterapi","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115310817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
