It is important that music therapists collaborate with language interpreters when language discordance occurs, that is, when the music therapist and patient do not have a shared proficiency of the same language. There are many ways of working with interpreters, but the topic is not widely researched in the music therapy profession. In this reflection paper, I discuss the ways in which music therapists and language interpreters can collaborate, highlighting the importance of the cultural broker stance and inviting interpreters into the therapeutic space.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":"151 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141674201","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}

Existing literature on educational approaches focuses on specific areas such as clinical musicianship and research skills and does not provide holistic views or conceptualizations through which educators can design courses and curricula. In this paper, four conceptualizations and teaching strategies that may aid current educational practices are explored: building a culture of learning, life-long learning, self-directed learning, and teaching diversity and multicultural contexts. Educators’ roles are also provided in cultivating learning environments where students feel safe to explore new ideas and music therapy methods, develop cognitive and social skills as life-long learners, utilize internal motivation to learn and grow with autonomy, and cultivate self-awareness in order to approach clients with cultural humility and knowledge.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":" 46","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675599","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}

The author of this autoethnography (a music therapist and empathy researcher) sought to explore her own personal empathy struggles. A challenge in her family context that evoked experiences related to past trauma invited her into a process using music therapy techniques as she asked: How can the tools developed in her research on empathy help her make sense of this experience? How can these tools awaken more empathic responses to her child? How can going through this process give her greater insight into its potential use within music therapy sessions? By designing a series of experiences using receptive and active techniques, she explored how two empathy pathways (insightful empathy and relational empathy) could assist her in processing her thoughts and feelings as well as engaging in more other-centred empathy towards her child within the family situation of concern. The implications for drawing on such a process within a music therapy context are explored.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141673864","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}

Recovery has gained attention in music therapy but a situation prevails where practitioners and researchers set research agendas. A group of music therapists recognised the absence of service user voices in music therapy research, and in 2017 they established a network called the Alliance for Recovery Research in Music Therapy (ARRIMT). In 2020, they started to develop a multi-national platform to explore mental health recovery in relation to research. Service users and music therapists were invited from three countries including Ireland, Norway, and the United Kingdom (UK). Local meetings were held to introduce stakeholders from each country, followed by three online meetings. Music was central to each meeting and each built upon content from previous meetings. Our conversations opened up new possibilities for working together. Four priorities for practice and research were identified: Music as a connector; music between sessions; music technology; and, online music therapy. This report will share our process and what we learnt from working together. We contextualise our work within concepts of foregrounding and mattering and view this work as a crucial step towards meaningful co-production. We reflect upon the role of music in building group identity alongside the importance of careful curation. Finally, we present ideas for future music therapy and mental health research.\u0000Group DescriptionIn 2018 the Alliance for Recovery Research in Music Therapy (ARRIMT) was founded as an international group of music therapy service users, researchers and practitioners from Australia, Ireland, Norway, and the United Kingdom. Fundamental to this group is the concept of recovery where those who use and those who provide mental health services work together to share knowledge and experiences that can have a positive impact on mental health service delivery. Key to this is listening carefully to the voices of those who use music therapy so that their views and experiences influence how music therapy is offered in mental health services. The founders and coordinators of the group are Tríona McCaffrey, Hans Petter Paulen Solli, and Catherine E. Carr. Other members of the group are Cornelia Bent, Darmuid Boyle, Oda Bjørke Dypvik, Kenneth Dybdahl, Tommy Hayes, Lauren M. Hickling, Jane Fernandez, Anne Malerbakken, Brendan Ruddy, and Torgrim Vågan.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676891","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}

As such, there is a need to reflect on the differences between education and training programs, which vary according to the local culture, educational needs, theoretical background, and scope, among others. Music  therapists work in a variety of environments including hospitals, community centres, regular or special education schools, speciality clinics, private practice, and long-term care homes, etc. Music therapists are tasked with navigating policies in their workplaces and balancing the needs of their clients/consumers/service users. This article written together by educators and a student aims to present brief highlights of the work of the authors whose collaboration resulted in a presentation at the European Congress of Music Therapy in June 2022. This presentation focused on the challenges and issues faced by the discipline of music therapy and health in general, based on the analysis of systemic issues in education and training, social issues, and significant issues such as multiculturalism, equity, and race around the world. These were identified as important issues for the authors who desired to raise awareness on these topics to further open ongoing dialogue. Our aim is to contribute to the establishment of dialogues between music therapy educators, allied health professionals, researchers, and students for the implementation of new courses and the updating of existing programs, expanding views on possible music therapy interventions in contemporary times.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":"14 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140083949","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}

In receptive music therapy, clients listen to music for therapeutic purposes. The unique part of the MI method is that the client’s own music can be used. Three qualified music therapists from two countries trained together in the MI method and were grouped together for supervision. Moving away from the traditional therapist-client dyad model, we worked as a trio, with the third person in our trio actively witnessing the session and sharing her perspectives and reflections during the post-session discussion. This article focuses on discussing our experiences in selecting music for our individual processes, since this selection is the new concept in the MI method, called the transition. To report our experiences, we chose to use trioethnography. Each author told her own story, whilst the others took part actively in a small intervision group as critics, friends, and colleagues. In this way, we acknowledged each other’s processes as clients, therapists, and witnesses. Our experience of using intervision to explore the new concept of transition (choosing music) and reporting on that process using trioethnography was very positive. It became clear that intervision can be meaningful for all music therapists in clinical settings, and that trioethnography should be further explored as a research approach.","PeriodicalId":340679,"journal":{"name":"Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy","volume":"58 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140085725","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}
