One month course on Music therapy

Sand box

It is my pleasure to share that RPRIT has successfully completed 2 week course on Music therapy. Trainees have learnt some basic models of music therapy and Music design. They answered correctly in the examination. I have assigned total responsibilities on Ms. Mridusmita Bagchi . She formed one team of teachers and imparted training to trainees. She is very sincere, has good leadership skills.

Now, I am planning to start another course with relatively deep learning. Here is my sand box.

Lesson 1: Music and Health.
Lesson 2: Music and Cognition.
Lesson 3: Music and Brain.
Lesson 4: Music and Physics.
Lesson 5: Music Graphics.
Lesson 6: Music and Imageries.
Lesson 7: Music and Emotions.

Our objective will be Music therapy in non-clinical settings.

In future course, students will learn one Rabindrasangeet in vocal and instrument.



Course objective: Aim of this course is to educate trainees about different principles, techniques and tools of music therapy.
How Music therapy helps
A Music Therapist is a person who deals with the problems and stress of a person using a form of music. They can work with people of any age group, be it children or elder people. They aid people with brain injuries, physical disabilities, mental health issues and developmental disabilities. Music Therapists use the power of music to deal with unsaid feelings. They use techniques like relaxation, guided imagery and improvisation, and involve sound, music, and rhythm in a way to engage persons or patients.

Notes

  • depressed
  • patients who are physically impaired
  • frequently admitted patients
  • patients who have experienced trauma.

Patients are referred to music therapy by medical, nursing or allied health staff.

Note: Music therapy services may not be available to every ward/area of the hospital.

Most people identify music as a meaningful part of everyday life. By taking into account a child or young person’s individual tastes, music can be familiar and grounding in the unpredictable hospital environment. Music therapy can offer patients a sense of control and an avenue for positive self- expression, particularly when they have a say in what activities will be explored.

What does a music therapy session involve?

The music therapist will first assess a patient to identify his/her individual abilities and needs.

A therapy program will then be tailored to the individual needs of your child, including personalised goals that address areas of concern. Music therapy goals can include using music to assist with pain and anxiety management, to enhance communication, and create opportunities for child/family bonding through music.

A music therapist will play guitar or keyboard and sing, and provide a range of age-appropriate percussion instruments for your child and family to explore. Prior musical experience is not necessary and the program will be based on your child or adolescent’s musical preferences. The music therapist will document and evaluate sessions to ensure the effectiveness of the program outcomes.

Infants and children

Live familiar music combined with physical, cognitive and social activities provides developmental stimulation, increases interaction, and encourages participation and motivation. Soothing music can help reduce irritability, pain or anxiety, and also encourage child/family bonding. Making music together and writing songs can provide an avenue for creative self-expression.

Adolescents

Adolescents can play an active role in developing their own music therapy program. They can explore a range of musical activities with their therapist and choose what feels right for them. This can include songwriting, improvisation and/or singing the songs of favourite bands and artists. Technology is also available for the production of personalised audio/visual projects. Live music combined with relaxation techniques is also offered to help reduce pain and anxiety.
