Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction COVID-19 challenged music therapists to provide services in a range of virtual formats, including synchronous and asynchronous session delivery. While models of telehealth delivery and essential technology skills have been discussed in recent literature and professional development courses, the ways in which the client--therapist relationship has been impacted have not been fully explored. Method Reflective vignettes shaped by the author’s lived experience explore this impact in the context of collaboration with two therapy participants in different formats: (a) live Zoom music therapy sessions with a neurodivergent child, and (b) pre-recorded music therapy sessions focused on recreating improvisational experiences for/with an autistic child. Results Narrative storytelling highlights the author’s experience navigating three phases of deepening virtual connections over time, which include exploration of online delivery challenges such as technological problems, development of skills for video creation, and translating in-person experiences into online formats. Discussion Vignettes contextualize session events within the author’s practice of telehealth and the ways these practices compare with pre-COVID sessions. Throughout this narrative, the power of technology to expand and limit the author’s ability to co-construct meaningful therapeutic musical encounters is discussed.
期刊介绍：
Nordic Journal of Music Therapy (NJMT) is published in collaboration with GAMUT - The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre (Uni Health and University of Bergen), with financial support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences and in co-operation with university programs and organizations of music therapy in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy serves the international community of music therapy by being an avenue for publication of scholarly articles, texts on practice, theory and research, dialogues and discussions, reviews and critique. Publication of the journal is based on the collaboration between the music therapy communities in the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and the three Baltic Countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This international but still regional foundation offers a platform for development of communication with the broader international community of music therapy. Scholars from all over the world are welcomed to write in the journal. Any kind of scholarly articles related to the field of music therapy are welcomed. All articles are reviewed by two referees and by the editors, to ensure the quality of the journal. Since the field of music therapy is still young, we work hard to make the review process a constructive learning experience for the author. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy does not step aside from active engagement in the development of the discipline, in order to stimulate multicultural, meta-theoretical and philosophical discussions, and new and diverse forms of inquiry. The journal also stimulates reflections on music as the medium that defines the discipline. Perspectives inspired by musicology and ethnomusicology are therefore welcomed.
