Abstract The study aimed to determine the study feasibility of a weekly virtual community-based choral singing program and to explore the impact of weekly choral singing on resilience, anxiety, and benefit finding in cancer survivors. Six participants were recruited from the Survivorship Choir (SC), led by a board-certified music therapist and affiliated with a cancer center. Study participants attended their standard 90-minute rehearsals, which were conducted virtually because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Researchers followed participants over eight weeks, collecting data at weeks one and eight. Five self-report instruments were used and included a researcher-designed Demographic Form. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) is a 10-item questionnaire assessing participants’ resilience. The PROMIS: Emotional Distress-Anxiety Scale measured participants’ anxiety levels, and the Carver Benefit Finding Scale assessed participants’ benefit finding levels. The participant Feedback Form, designed by the researchers, assessed the study’s feasibility and effectiveness. High attendance and completion rates demonstrated the study’s feasibility. Choral singing led to a statistically significant increase in resilience (W = 0.00, p = .036, rrb = -1.00) between baseline (M = 28.33, SD = 7.20) and week 8 (M = 33.83, SD = 4.88), demonstrating a large effect. While not significant, anxiety and benefit finding trended in a desirable direction with large effects. The present study format was feasible during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study showed that community-based choral singing, even in a virtual format, may positively affect cancer survivorship by increasing resilience and benefit finding and alleviating anxiety.

Music therapy is by nature an interdisciplinary profession, focusing on the triangulation of the client, the therapist, and the music. This complex relationship creates the necessity for specialized supervision practices. As part of the training for this profession, it is required that students are supervised by board-certified music therapists during practicum placements. Music therapy supervision has incorporated theories grounded in the field of psychology to inform supervision practices. However, recent work in the field suggests Appreciative Education theory may be a more useful approach for supervision. Appreciative education is “a framework that provides an intentional and positive approach to bettering educational enterprises by focusing on the strengths and potential of individuals and organizations to accomplish co-created goals” (Bloom, J., Hutson, B., He, Y., & Konkle, E. 2013). Appreciative education. New Directions for Student Services, 143, 5–6). This paper discusses examples of the appreciative education approach and how to best integrate these practices within the context of undergraduate music therapy supervision. For this article, the primary approach discussed will be the 6D framework developed (Bloom, J. L., Hutson, B. L., & He, Y. (2008). The appreciative advising revolution. Stipes Publishing). The purpose of this practical application is for music therapy supervisors to integrate this framework into their supervisory practices.
音乐治疗本质上是一个跨学科的专业，专注于客户、治疗师和音乐的三角关系。这种复杂的关系创造了专业化监督实践的必要性。作为该专业培训的一部分，要求学生在实习期间由董事会认证的音乐治疗师监督。音乐治疗监督结合了心理学领域的理论来指导监督实践。然而，最近在该领域的工作表明，欣赏教育理论可能是一种更有用的监督方法。赞赏教育是“一个框架，通过关注个人和组织的优势和潜力来实现共同创造的目标，为改善教育企业提供了一种有意识的、积极的方法”(Bloom, J.， Hutson, B.， He, Y.， & Konkle, E. 2013)。感激教育。学生服务新方向，143,5-6)。本文讨论了欣赏教育方法的例子，以及如何在本科音乐治疗监督的背景下最好地整合这些实践。对于本文，讨论的主要方法将是开发的6D框架(Bloom, J.

Person-centered dementia care has been extensively integrated into music therapy practice; its central aim being to meet the core psychological needs of people with dementia, uphold personhood, and contribute to enhanced quality of life. Furthermore, Kitwood’s model has been widely referenced as the theoretical framework underpinning multiple studies with people with dementia. However, few studies explore it in more concrete terms, expand on how it is implemented in practice, or describe how “positive person work” can be facilitated in music therapy with this population. This paper aims to address these lacunae, by presenting a comprehensive overview of Kitwood’s model; identifying how it has informed music therapy practice, and highlighting current applications of “person-centered music therapy” in relation to meeting the core psychological needs of people with dementia. Furthermore, the authors present practical considerations on facilitating “positive person work” in music therapy, drawing on their experiences of providing music therapy in dementia care.

Twelve music therapists working in a range of settings throughout the United States were interviewed and asked to recall harmful events they experienced during music therapy sessions. In total, 61 harmful or potentially harmful events were described and subsequently analyzed using procedures consistent with qualitative content analysis. Four categories emerged that characterized these harmful events: (1) emotional harm, (2) physiological harm, (3) physical harm, and (4) relationship harm. Within each of these categories, therapist self-awareness, clinical decision-making, and clinical competence are discussed. The findings suggest a need for increased awareness of the potential for harm in music therapy clinical practice, increased education for students and new professionals entering clinical training/practice, as well as additional research exploring the ways music therapists may define, navigate, and prevent harm.

Music therapy is a newer profession within hospice, with limited evidence of other disciplines’ perceptions of a music therapist’s role in hospice care. The purpose of this study was to examine if perception differences exist between music therapists and interdisciplinary team (IDT) members regarding how 25 job tasks related to the music therapist’s role within a clinical interdisciplinary hospice team. Two groups consisting of board-certified music therapists (MT-BC) and IDT members completed an online Qualtrics survey to rate how 25 job tasks were perceived to pertain to the music therapist’s role in hospice care. A two-way mixed ANOVA indicated the significant differences between the 2 groups for 13 of the 25 tasks, suggesting less understanding of an MT-BC’s role within a hospice IDT. For the 13 tasks perceived significantly different, a one-way ANOVA was run and indicated significant between discipline perceptual differences for nine of the 13 tasks. Qualitative statements indicated contracted and employed MT-BCs experienced similar perceived barriers of IDT colleagues lack of understanding music therapy and the MT-BC not being able to attend IDT or participate regularly. Overall, required IDT groups’ qualitative statements were positive, with the most common responses across disciplines indicating that MT-BCs elicited positive responses from patients and caregivers, provided a distraction from pain or agitation, and increased patients’ quality of life. The current study’s outcomes highlight the need for music therapists to provide more education to colleagues regarding a music therapist’s role in the hospice setting.

The purpose of this study was to examine high school music teachers’ knowledge of music therapy, interest in music therapy, and career recommendations for music therapy relative to other music careers. High school music teachers (N = 65) from one southeastern state completed a researcher-designed survey instrument designed to investigate these areas. Results indicated varied levels of knowledge about music therapy, although teachers who previously attended institutions that offered music therapy degree programs provided higher knowledge ratings than those who had not attended institutions with music therapy programs. Additionally, participants reported a relatively high interest in music therapy and a willingness to promote it as a career to their students. Participants reported that they were most likely to recommend music education as a career to their students, followed by music performance and music therapy. In response to open-ended questions, participants indicated that they believed personal characteristics were the most important qualities of prospective music therapists and that musical characteristics were the most important qualities of prospective music educators. They also expressed an interest in more information about music therapy, especially related to job characteristics. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The majority of South Africans use both traditional and Western healthcare services. Although traditional healers have long since recognized and utilized the healing power of music, music therapy as a profession in this country is largely aligned with Western medical approaches, as it is regulated by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. This alignment leaves little recognition to traditional health practitioners. In the current study, we explored music therapists’ and traditional healers’ perceptions of their roles and relationships with each other in South African healthcare with the hope of initiating dialogue. Four traditional healers (TH) and four music therapists (MT) participated in interviews within this multiple case study, and thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. We identified eight overarching themes that appeared most salient to the music therapists and traditional healers (framed from their perspectives): (1) Both our practices support wellbeing, with music as a tool; (2) We both seek to enhance general well-being, but with different specializations; (3) We both focus on relational connection; (4) We both emphasize the importance of culture; (5) THs emphasize spirituality; (6) We hold curious, yet cautious regard for each other’s practices; (7) MT may aid in addressing psychosocial needs in South Africa; and (8) We both welcome a pluralism of approaches. Both groups of practitioners envisioned a future healthcare system that embraces multiple modalities while reflecting on the need to engage in issues related to boundaries of scopes of practice. They highlighted the need for greater trust between practitioners from different approaches to serve a diverse population better.
