MUTH 536 Music Therapy Practices in Medical Settings

In this course, students examine practices in which music experiences and therapeutic relationships promote physiological and psychological well-being. Students develop their understanding of clinical practice by applying knowledge of music therapy assessment, treatment and evaluation to work with children and adults in medical settings. By focusing on physiological and biopsychosocial theories, students develop their knowledge of the influence of music on the human body and the interplay between mind, body and spirit. The theoretical, clinical and research literature pertaining to these practices are reviewed, with consideration given to multiple therapeutic orientations. Special attention is given to the role of music experiences in client assessment and treatment across various populations and settings. Students explore pertinent case studies, plan and implement simulated music therapy processes and cultivate resources for future use. Credit(s): 3
