“…The instructors delivering the interventions described included the researchers themselves (Son et al, 2019; Ziv & Dolev, 2013), specialists in SEN (Talavera Jara & Gértrudix Barrio, 2016), psychologists (Gee et al, 2019), music specialists (Chao-Fernández et al, 2020; Epelde-Larrañaga et al, 2020; Kraus et al, 2014; Vitoria Gallastegi, 2006), arts educators (Zyga et al, 2018), music therapists (Arnau, 2013; Blasco Magraner & Valero, 2017; Crooke & McFerran, 2014; Fernández & Cardoso, 2016; Formariz, 2020; Garrote Rojas et al, 2018; Gold et al, 2017; Hernán Benavides, 2010; Kwok, 2019; Mendelson et al, 2016; Moutte, 2020; Pasiali & Clark, 2018; Pérez Eizaguirre et al, 2015; Schmid et al, 2020; Thompson & McFerran, 2015; Uhlig et al, 2016), and teachers (Acebes-de Pablo & Carabias-Galindo, 2016; Fong & Jelas, 2010). In addition, there were several examples of interdisciplinary collaboration, for instance, between several specialists in the cases of Brown et al (2018) and Eren (2015); between SEN specialists and music therapists in DeBoth et al (2021) and McFerran et al (2016); and between music therapists and music specialists (Ballantyne & Baker, 2013).…”

“…From the results presented here, we can affirm that music therapy techniques are suitable for application in the educational context. In the case of infant school students, Acebes-de Pablo and Carabias-Galindo (2016) and DeBoth et al (2021) concluded that music therapy can mitigate and even prevent learning difficulties. In the case of adolescents, music therapy appeared able to promote social harmony in school (Pérez Eizaguirre et al, 2015).…”

The use of music therapy techniques has recently extended into the educational realm to help overcome learning difficulties, support emotional management, and assist students to develop necessary social skills. This is known as educational music therapy (EMT). Current educational policies give ever greater importance to the fostering and development of core social skills and competencies as decisive factors in overall educational success. Thus, teachers are being encouraged to explore interdisciplinary and creative collaboration and to innovate and incorporate new, more active, teaching methods to enable students to meet these educational objectives. This article comprises a systematic review of 34 research studies from 13 countries concerning the use of EMT over the last 15 years. The authors have identified uses of EMT in general teaching and in music education. The PICO(C) framework was used to develop the research question and the PRISMA diagram was used to determine the criteria for exclusion or inclusion of studies for review. The results from all studies considered agree that music therapy has benefits at all contexts and levels of education. The studies examined are diverse in terms of design, application, and procedures, and music therapy and music education techniques largely coincide in their educational objectives: improving inclusion, learning outcomes, and well-being among students. In conclusion, there is a two-way process of transfer between music education and EMT, and the addition of EMT techniques as another innovative method within teachers’ repertoires could have many benefits in education. The added value can be found in the way this review relates different studies, revealing those dimensions that would benefit from further study as well as exploring the decision-making process around their potential applications.

“…Music’s ability to promote all areas of development, engage the whole child, and provide multisensory stimuli and feedback makes it a particularly valuable therapeutic tool (DeBoth et al, 2021; Kennelly, 2000). Music therapy is a health profession, where therapists apply the planned use of music and its elements to focus on clinical goals within a therapeutic relationship, and involves a procedure of referral, assessment, treatment, and evaluation (McFerran-Skewes & Rickson, 2007).…”

‘Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room’: Online music therapy with children and adolescents with visual impairment

The COVID-19 pandemic created a major transformation in the delivery of music therapy services worldwide as they moved online. Telehealth research is in its infancy and online work with children and adolescents with visual impairment has yet to be investigated. This survey-based study explored the experiences and perceptions of parents of children and adolescents with visual impairment ( n = 11) who engaged in online music therapy. Video playlists were accessed regularly and almost all parents reported positive (2/11) or very positive (8/11) responses and perceived them as beneficial in engaging with their child. Ninety-five percent (10/11) of parents perceived the teleheath programme to be a positive experience for their child, 73% (8/11) observed positive behaviours directly after the sessions, and 82% (9/11) indicated that the programme was a valuable family resource that supported bonding and interaction. Inductive reflexive thematic analysis generated four themes from the qualitative data: (a) positive impacts, (b) interactive family resource, (c) connection to school, and (d) challenges. A discussion of the findings is followed by implications for practice.

Exploring Music Therapy Research in Preschool Settings that Include Children with Disabilities: A Scoping Review

With an increasing number of developed nations adopting elements of the social model of disability, early childhood intervention practice has evolved to place greater emphasis on an inclusive, ecological, and strength-based framework. Recent music therapy literature seems to align with this shift in policy and demonstrates how family-centered strategies can be promoted in homes. Although music therapy researchers have conducted studies in kindergartens and childcares, which are also fundamental naturalistic settings for children with disabilities, the overall breadth and nature of practice in these settings is unclear and has not been collated. This scoping review aims to identify the key characteristics of music therapy research in preschool settings that include children with disabilities, subsequently identifying key publication details, participants, therapeutic aims, outcome measures, study designs, preschool settings, delivery models, and choice of music therapy methods. A total of 19 peer-reviewed journal articles from 1988 to 2020 met inclusion and exclusion criteria, with more than half of the studies published during the last 15 years. Evaluation of these 19 studies reveals how funding policies and educational systems seem to inherently inform the application of music therapy research in early learning centers. Developmental perspectives and objectivist study designs underpin many of the included sources, with majority of the outcomes demonstrating music therapy’s positive impact upon a child’s development. Researchers outside of the United States should give greater focus to early childhood and collect data from preschools within their respective countries to broaden awareness on how music therapy can support children with disabilities in naturalistic settings.
