This article considers the experiences and learning of the author during a year-long music therapy trainee placement at a drop-in centre for adults with disabilities. The context and setup of the placement are outlined and the author discusses how his approach was influenced by ideas taken from community music therapy literature. The article then focuses on how music therapy supported Shona, a woman with cerebral palsy, to access her community. The journey of Shona and the trainee Music Therapist is depicted as a joint pathway encompassing individual sessions, group work and performance; insights and reflections from the trainee’s tutors are discussed and the work is conceptualised in three stages. The affordances and limitations of iPad technology (with ‘Thumbjam’ software) are also discussed. The author reflects on the frustration he felt at different stages of this journey, where the advice of his tutors seemed to contradict each other. He concludes that there is no ‘right’ answer, only additional perspectives in a continual process of finding new ways to take the work forward. Shona’s story and her real name are used with her informed consent.

Songwriting is widely used in individual music therapy but less often in groups. This article draws on the authors’ experience of facilitating music therapy groups for adults with severe depression using songwriting. This work was part of the SYNCHRONY study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial of group music therapy with a songwriting component for patients with long-term depression (1 year or longer) within the community. The authors (all music therapists in the study) describe their experiences and reflections on the group processes and use of songwriting, drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted as part of the study. Themes of the work included pre-composed songs as a more accessible way to talk about difficult experiences, musical improvisation enabling an environment for songwriting, the impact of difficulties in attendance on group cohesion and the songwriting process, building confidence through song development and recording, and considerations around the end process and creating the song album. These are illustrated with clinical vignettes. Some recommendations for practice are also offered. The authors hope to identify the potentials and challenges of a songwriting approach in a community mental health context.

The aim of this scoping review is to summarise the existing empirical evidence and produce an overview of the ways in which music therapy in paediatric palliative care is described in the literature, with a specific focus on hospital-at-home. It was performed through searches undertaken in eight databases and completed using the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. The findings of the scoping review indicate the following: (1) there is no clear definition of music therapy in paediatric palliative care; (2) there is limited research on paediatric palliative care; (3) music therapy in hospital-at-home offers isolated patients and families a feeling of connectedness; (4) both expressive and receptive music therapy approaches are included in the existing studies, emphasising the need to adapt to the patient’s age, abilities, interests and energy levels; and (5) the outcomes of the music therapy discussed in the literature focus on enhancing the quality of life. Overall, music therapy appears to be an asset for the interdisciplinary team working to improve quality of life, but research methods which respond specifically to the voices of the children and adolescents must be developed to improve paediatric palliative care further.
