Educational Music Thearpy

I recently found this book: Art Therapies in Schools : Research and Practice by Karkou, Vicky

(Chapter 7 - Emma Pethybridge and James Robertson)

I skimmed through several parts of the book until my attention was caught by Chapter 7: Educational Music Therapy. I could definitely use this as part of my research. Chapter 7 considers the prospective concept of educational music therapy and implementing this model with practical context, especially in a school setting. This chapter discusses the overlap between music education and music therapy and how this applies to student success, using a Scotland school and public schools in Texas who embraced this model, as examples. I also like how this chapter focuses on "practical" music therapy and how it pertains to students academically. This chapter suggests (as this chart indicates) certain coping skills that music can help to foster in children that can help them become more successful in school.

  1. If I am remembering correctly, and PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, I recall the instructors in the summer session telling us to try to not use books or physical sources of information.

    Just keep in mind or double check with the professors to be safe.

  2. Have you decided what type of music you will be playing before the math tests? Classical? Jazz? Music with lyrics? Curious to find out :)

  3. I am also curious as to what research recommend before high stakes testing.
