The only way to really grasp
the concept of music therapy is to ask someone who goes through it. If I
interview a patient, I could get them to teach everything about the effects of
music therapy. I plan to go to a local place that practices music therapy and
asking permission to interview one of the clients.
What I plan to find out about music therapy is that how it
helps and in what way. I am still very skeptical about music therapy. The only
thing I know is it's history. It all started around World War I or World War
II. The doctors would hire musicians to come in and play some music to the
injured and sick. The soldiers, however, really enjoyed the music as it somehow
made them feel better. This being the beginning of music therapy, there has
been some earlier signs of it in the 18th century. But this is all I
know of music therapy. I plan to find out more with this interview. How I am
going to lay it out will start off with a friendly, personal question. I will ask
about some stories from the clients childhood. Then I will get into the meat of
my interest and start asking why they are enrolled in music therapy and how is
it helping them become better.
After I have talked to the patient, I'm going to get some basic knowledge of
music therapy from the therapist of the person I'm interviewing. After all said
and done I will write up the interview giving credit to the client. Then I
shall write an essay on the things I've learned from this whole experience.
This will be on my next blog post.
