GREETINGS OF

THE

CONSERVATORY

DIRECTOR

The idea of organizing this international conference on Music Therapy

in Higher Education was born with the objective to compare our

experience since 2003 in Conservatory of Pescara with what happens in

the schools of Music Therapy active at Conservatories and Universities

across Europe.

The Conference will provide an important opportunity to initiate a

reflection through a scientific comparison of didactic courses exist at

the community level and it will allow teachers and students of Music

Therapy to measure their experiences and expertise, with those given in

the other reality similar existing in Europe. I am sure that the effort

made by all members of our Institute for the realization of the project

will be rewarded by excellent results.

The traditional hospitality of our region of its people will help to make it

even more enjoyable and memorable the participation to the

conference. Special thanks go to Prof. Silvio Luigi Feliciani, staff, and

student volunteers without whom this Conference would not have been

possible. On behalf of myself I send greetings to all the speakers and

participants for an inspiring and uplifting Conference.

M° Massimo Magri

GREETINGS OF THE

HONORARY PRESIDENT OF

CONFERENCE

As the current WFMT President, I want to

thank the CLDA for organizing this dynamic

International Conference on “Training in

Music Therapy and Europe”. The

Conservatory of Pescara under the

leadership of Massimo Magri are working

hard to prepare an outstanding program that features important

presentations on academic courses, clinical placement opportunities,

legal issues and employment for music therapists. Concurrent paper

presentations are being accepted by both professionals and students

alongside submissions for the poster session.

It is timely that the Conservatory is preparing this conference as they

are the first educational institution in Italy to offer a degree program in

music therapy. What an outstanding opportunity for music therapists,

health care professionals, musicians, students, researchers and

educators to share their work with a focus on stimulating and

advancing the growth of music therapy in Italy and Europe. I look

forward to meeting you and am privileged to be the Honorary President

of this conference.

Regards,

President, WFMT

MESSAGE FROM THE

CONFERENCE

COORDINATOR

It is for me a great honor to be able to attract at this conservatory a large number of music therapists . The choice to organize the conference, and the choice of the theme mainly stems from the strategic role that the Conservatory of Pescara has played in recent years in Italy in the area of training in Music Therapy. Our Bachelor degree program is currently the only one in Italy, and has about 60 students, some with very successful international placements through Erasmus. All learners do placements at national rehabilitation centers and hospitals affiliated committed for more than two years in rehabilitation projects, with children and adults affected by any kind of disability. Other trails, in other Italian Conservatories of music are biennial specialization courses. There are no university degree programs in Music Therapy. Consequently, with good reason the Conservatory of Pescara Pescara is a prime candidate to play a proactive, interlocutory referential and privileged role, backed by governmental structures that will take care of the professional standards of Music Therapy in Italy. Although standardization will take a long time, we will fight to ensure that adequate standardization is provided, in line with the parameters of training in Music Therapy in European Higher Education Institutions. In order to respond fully to this objective in the Conservatory today we wish to promote a comparison between all the European academic realities. You will certainly have noticed that I want to give the students the possibility to express their opinions.

They are -the students- the real stars of our work as trainers. And their presence, along with their voice, is for us a great stimulus and a strong element of reflection. Welcome everyone, then, welcome to our colleagues, welcome to the authorities, and welcome to the students. For the Conservatory of Pescara this is the first time we have organised such a complex event as that of an international conference. But I am sure that we will be up to our task, we will be hospitable and appropriate, and we will provide a decisive contribution to the development of training in music therapy in Europe. Sincerely Yours,

Challenges of Music Therapy development in Europe. Conception of the sustainable development model

The Commission on Education and Training, World Federation of Music Therapy promotes dissemination of knowledge regarding contemporary guidelines for the standards of the education and training of music therapists around the world. As the European Commissioner, I focus on music therapy in Europe mostly on the achievements, problems and challenges of this discipline. One of the most important aims of the Commission is to encourage discussions regarding educational standards and to develop educational

resources for music therapy educators to further enhance education/training practices. All these issues are close to my heart, not only as a music therapist, but also as President of the Polish Music Therapists’ Association (PSMT), an organisation which tries to do its best to support the development of the discipline in Poland. It has been noticed that some countries have developed structures and built good relations with other professionals, others, particularly countries and regions where music therapy is not yet well established, are still struggling with various challenges: how to organize the process of music therapists’ training, develop the discipline, become a partner for national health care systems. Formulating answers is not easy and definitely must follow a process. The sustainable development model for music therapy will be described. The system was designed for countries which need support in the building of the

music therapy profession. It shows a process of training and building structures and describes all the important steps that must be taken to provide solid grounds for the development of this discipline. It takes into account such important aspects of development like training and practice, research and publications. The sustainable development model has been accepted by the PSMT and implemented in Poland. Last year the model was recognized at the World Music Therapy Congress in Austria. Dr. Krzysztof Stachyra - Director Postgraduate diploma in Music Therapy Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Faculty of Arts, Music Institute Lublin, Poland.

THE STUDENTS SAY...

Our experience as music therapist at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wroclaw (Poland)

This presentation describes our experience as music therapist at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wroclaw (Poland). We begins by describing who we are and where we come from. After we describe our training program: the Bachelor degree and the Master degree. We talk about the content related to the compulsory disciplines that we attended, and we'll talk about those optionals disciplines too. Than we will describe the practical activities that we attended during the practical activity (the integration of the different applications

of music therapy in rehabilitation activities in schools, in the cardiology department of a hospital, a psychiatric hospital, centers for the blind and others). We'll tell you what we felt during these experiences. After we will discuss how we can organize activities of music therapy in various centers, and for what objectives. Finally we will present the Music Therapy Scientific students organization, we will describe the many events we organize through this organization (conferences, jam sessions, concerts and more) in order to present and teach music therapy in Wroclaw). We will close our presentation by describing what we can do with the program Erasmus to Karol Lipinski Academy of Music. We hope, for this presentation, it will be able to provide a useful contribution to the information that this conference try to achieve. A contribution told from the voice of someone who has personally

experienced of studying before, and after use, the skills to do the job of a Musician therapist Paulina Mròz, MA music therapist student, the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław Nikola Maślanka, MA music therapist student, the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław Wrocław, Poland

Pescara Conservatory partnership - our training at Mayfield School in Torquay – UK (Italy)

Our training at the Mayfield School, a specialist school for Cognition and Learning disability. What we want to share is: our experience and how is important it is for a student to go abroad, put into practice the objectives of your country course, develop learning and skills testing; everything in another language and with people with different course of study. The importance, in our view, to draw from different experiences.

What this training helped us for: to create a progressive sense of belonging to a professional community, developing theoretical and practical skills useful in different contexts. The detailed program of the training period: observation sessions with clients, writing individualized project built based on client characteristics, our role as music therapists and as co-therapists, ourmodels of music therapy used and deepened (like Nordoff Robbins and Clifford Madsen), cooperation with activities supportuseful to establish an emphatic relation with the customer and a greater knowledge alsoimportant for best sessions

of music therapy, our weekly supervision sessions and their structure, monitoring and evaluation planof our work through weekly reports sent to our Academic course Coordinator, the final report.

From inspiration to action - impact of international experience on music therapist`s career (Poland)

Erasmus scholarship is not just a way to discover foreign Because in music therapy there are so many approaches and country, get new friends or additional value to one’s CV. ways of leading sessions, it seems to be crucial to know and feel the variety. International exchanges give a great opportunity not only to explore it in practice but also to understand and respect the differences. In the presentation I will tell how did I see the differences in the way of studying in Wrocław and Verona, pointing out the skills that I got there and use in everyday

professional life. I will also tell why after studying in Verona I made up my mind and became music therapist. Erasmus was really enriching experience- it provided me with knowledge, opening many doors. But what I personally found the most important – it opened my eyes to my imperfections as well as strengths. Marta Siepsiak student University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw- Clinical Psychology, Warsaw, Poland

Music Psychotherapy as an Official Psychotherapist Training in Finland

In 2013, Music Psychotherapist Training (96 ECTS credits) was officially accepted as its own independent orientation and a form of psychotherapy at the University of Oulu, The Faculty of Medicine in Finland according to the new psychotherapy statute (1120/2010 2a §) in Finnish law. Only those universities, which have a responsibility for the medical and psychological training are allowed to arrange psychotherapy training in Finland currently. Master of Philosophy in music therapy has been accepted as a ground university degree since 2012 when the first advanced psychodynamic music psychotherapy training in 2007–2011 at the University of Oulu was authorized leading to the

protected psychotherapist tittle by the Valvira (National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health). The 4-year psychodynamic music therapy training is an integrative psychotherapy training including the verbal psychodynamic psychotherapist and the music therapist trainings. The graduated students who have completed their studies successfully evaluated by the university receive the authorization to use psychotherapist tittle from the Valvira. Music psychotherapists can work as an independent psychotherapists and the rehabilitation service providers of the psychodynamic psychotherapy and music therapy for the Kela (Social Insurance Institute of Finland). (Alanne 2013; 2014a; b; Alanne & Wahlberg, 2014.)

Music psychotherapist training in Finland is theoretically developed from the clinical work and the theories of the pioneering music therapists Juliette Alvin, Mary Priestley and Helen L. Bonny in 1960`s and 1970`s (Bruscia 1998; Hadley, 2003). It is grounded on the psychodynamic psychotherapy and the latest development of psychoanalytic theory. However, music psychotherapy also binds to its own methodology and clinical theory building emphasizing especially the deep understanding of the musical meaning and interaction in a psychotherapeutic process. The key elements and contents of authorized Music Psychotherapist Training program will be introduced in the presentation. (Alanne, 2010; 2014a; De Backer & Sutton, 2014.)

Pescara Conservatory – Mezzopreti Palace

A three years Bachelor Degree in Methods and Techniques for Disabled People , offered by the State Music Conservatorium of Padua (Italy)

Padua has a long tradition in dealing with blind people and in guaranteeing specific schools (Configliacchi Institute for blinds) and learning tools: the degree opened indeed when the

"Sezione per Ciechi" (section for the blind) of the

Conservatorium closed. This new degree lies within the main bachelor in Music Education. The study plan is divided in three areas: 1st) Music (theory of the music, instruments 1 and 2,

history of Music, composition, choir conduction); 2nd), Music education (Pedagogy, psychology, Biology, special education; 3rd) practical training in State Schools or private institutes. The focus of the first area is the study of music under all its specific aspects. The second area focuses on Psychology, related to the people with special needs, Pedagogy and Music education, again related to the people with special needs; an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the skeleton and the apparatus of the voice.

Bachelor & Master Training Program in Music Therapy ad the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems (Austria) – Reflections

This presentation will be devided into two parts: 1. Part one will describe main aspects of the Bachelor- & Master-Programes in Krems, which are organsized according to the Federal Law on Music Therapy in Austria. The Bachelor Program puts it’s focus on the development of practical therapeutical

skills. The focus of the Master Program lies on the development of practical research skills. This part will also be illustrated by some video-examples of clinical training sessions. 2. Part two of the presentation will reflect upon different „role models“, which are connected to different attributions and expectations. We should be aware, that - as teachers, students, patients, therapists etc. - persons always act in the frame of role models. Nevertheless humans are more than the role they are referred to. It will be discussed, how students may find a deeper understanding of their role as a music therapist.

Presentation of the training program of the School of Psychotherapy and Integrated Music Therapy, Rome (Italy)

The School of Psychotherapy and Integrated Music Therapy – SPIM (officially recognized by Italian Ministry of Research and Education in 2003) offers a post – degree, four – year training for psychology and/or physician. The school program is based on the framework of second-generation cognitive science: it includes interdisciplinary contributions describing how human beings develop and function from a neurophysiologic and psychological perspective. The uniqueness of the proposed

program is that it is integrative in three ways: It integrates neurophysiological and psychological aspects of the person, tacit and explicit modes of consciousness, and nonverbal and verbal codes for meaning. For the above reasons, the program addresses the complexity of human beings by integrating theory and research based on second-generation cognitive science and by training students in different methods of psychotherapy, such as cognitive psychotherapy (Beck, 1976; Ellis, 1962; Guidano, 1987, 1991; Lazarus, 1991; Liotti, 2007) and music therapy, that is, Guided Imagery and Music (Bruscia, 2002). It is in this same vein that the integrated cognitive program refers to a psychology of health based on autonomy, freedom, development of human potentialities, and self-fulfillment, all of which involve the self-reflection needed to be continually aware of one's own characteristics and resources. The SPIM program addresses several issues: (l) It outlines how analogical and analytic modalities work together to process information; (2) It shows

various metaphorical methods to elicit tacit knowledge and its verbal representation; (3) It provides a body of evidence to support the idea that music does indeed have emotional power for developing self-awareness; and (4) It proposes an integrated methodology to improve the efficacy and efficiency of therapeutic intervention, based on the same processes and functions that human beings use in their own lives to promote knowledge and development.

POSTERS DISPLAY (students)

The music improvisation in the active music therapy Music therapy improvisation we find many points in common with the proper music (instruments, forms, people ...), but there are other skills (transference - countertransference, personal sound analysis, phenomena fonosymbolic ...), equally important that connote the

epistemological premises and objectives. In the treaty is emphasized, both as regards the musical skills of basic rhythmic and harmonic (to explore the potential of aesthetic gratification), the other to those appropriate skills "meta-musical" (sound and sense, symbolization, energy aspects ...) fundamental to operate well in a group of active music therapy. Together with the musical aspects, will investigate the basic concepts of non-verbal language (empathy, mirror biological ...) and those more closely related to the Benenzon methodology (setting, ISO, ... GOS). Particular attention will be directed to use conventional and especially "non-conventional" guitar as a tool aggregator in the group and more properly "intermediary object" in the relationship.

Music Therapy in progress The Poster that we want to present, it shows the itinerary and the development of the Music therapy in Italy, from the 70’s till our days. What we want to highlight is just how Music therapy has become established and especially how it is developing now. It must consider that, unlike the other European countries, in Italy music therapy is more recent ; and just because it is a ‘’new ‘’ discipline , it creates a kind of scepticism today ,

especially in the healthcare community; and it is not considered so important. Therefore no one examines it, and even the governmental authorities don’t take any stand about this situation. The way of a right consideration of the music therapy is still so far; and many music therapists fight constantly in order to consider it like a real profession. In fact as the title of the poster suggests “music therapy in progress”.

The legally recognized of the Musictherapist in Europe The purpose is to show in which European Countries is legally recognized the figure of the Music therapist and in which are not. The profession of the Music therapist, by ancient roots and of current issue, is unstoppably projected into wider and independent areas, supported by scientific awards and numerous therapeutic achievements, publications, researches and experiments that confirm the high potential of the discipline and the

interest that it arouses. We highlight the continuous stress by many Musictherapists to recognize the professional figure of the Musictherapist, through governmental regulation that rules their professional duties and the establishment of a national roll.

Education and Training in Music Therapy In many European countries the training of the music therapist is not recognized as a tertiary level education. Based on the guidelines of the European Music Therapy Confederation, the purpose of this work is to provide an overview of training courses in Europe, differentiating public and private sector and focusing on what kind of school of music therapy such courses are located. Even in tertiary education, the

study of music therapy arouses confusion because it is included in many disciplines: from Arts and Music to Health and Psychological sectors. For these reasons, specific official statistics from Eurostat are unavailable: qualitative data are complemented by statistical indicators that enclose culture, employment and education at country level.

want to know further on training courses abroad, such as the Erasmus Project, are free to contact easly the schools available on the billboard. Dr. Valeria Vadini, violinist, music therapy BA Pescara Conservatory of music. Pescara, Italy

Conspe and Music Therapy We have thought to produce a poster which represents the First level Academic Course of Music Therapy lasting three years performed at Conservatoire of Music "L. D'Annunzio" in Pescara that gives enabling to the profession of music therapist, the importance of the only recognized title by MIUR (Education, University and Research Ministry) in Italy and the moment when it is established as experimental course at the Conservatoire. We are going to develop already studied subjects, the importance they have inside the

course and we will give further information about the conduct of admission examination. We will give space to the practice that students have opportunity to do within the affiliated centers and about how experiences are supervised in the class. Masterclass, workshops and seminars that students of this course have chance to frequent will be also represented, specializing in some techniques they have not treated in previous studies. Everything will be given on paper with the utilization of graphical representations, images and captions. If it could be possible, we will try to bring testimonies of enrolled and undergraduates

students about their experiences, expectations and difficulties they have faced during the course. In the end, we will try to present life in the Conservatoire from students attending the course.

Our wines are natural products of our terroir – our unique combination of terrain and soil, which we try to convey to every bottle and which is the secret of our original taste. The local micro-climate and the land itself, to which our vines are bound and so well-adapted, give rise to wines of a unique, distinctive character. Convinced that a fine wine is born from the sum of so many small details, our objective must not only be to always produce fine wine, but also to make sure that our wines are always authentic.
