The following general stages of a music therapy session have been identified: focus of attention, regulation of interest-arousal level, dialogue, and conclusions. This paper presents a case study with practical description of the structure of a music therapy session for a group of young adults, how the input data for the group members is analysed, how the therapeutic objectives are established, depending on the strengths of each member and how the structural elements are managed, from the point of view of the content. Working techniques are described, to address psychodynamic aspects and how to assess the members and the group evolutions.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

As such, the express purpose of this paper is to highlight the noble descent of the Romanian pianistic school, represented by six Romanian piano teachers who enhanced their skills and knowledge in the elevated Parisian setting, at the institution founded by the famous pianist and teacher Alfred Cortot. In the order of their arrival at the Cluj Conservatory, these teachers are Ecaterina Fotino-Negru, George Ciolac, Eliza Ciolan, Alexandru Demetriad, Viorica Adelina Radu and Gabriela Țereanu.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

Still, it is hard, since the final result is mostly an eclecticism between program music, large types of audio layouts, applied accordingly to the script and the personal craft of the composer. I identified some general approaches in drama film music, such as: the large usage of strings, or the highlight of melodic parameter, the minor keys and so on. I believe, for a composer it is essential to know the tools one needs to choose before writing music for a film. Even more, the codes found in an soundtrack are necessary because of the fact that they „talk” about the composer s style, his trademark.

It also leads to increased self-esteem, self-control, self-discipline, inner harmony and creativity. This paper aims to observe the impact of music on children and whether there is a significant relationship between playing a musical instrument and the general attitude of the students towards school.
