Music Therapy Symposium 2012
MUSIC THERAPY SYMPOSIUM KEYS IN TO NEUROLOGIC RESEARCH BASIS FOR CLINICAL APPLICATIONS WITH STROKE, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, ALZHEIMER’S, AND REHABILITATION
The Music Therapy Association of Washington and Seattle Pacific University are drumming up a unique symposium in Seattle, “Emerging Trends in Research and Clinical Applications.” The event is scheduled for May 4 and 5, 2012 on the SPU campus. Presenters will address a variety of topics of interest to professional music therapists, art and movement therapists, social and healthcare workers, activities professionals, family care partners and the general public.
Dr. James Gardiner, a Neuropsychologist from Rapid City, South Dakota will deliver the keynote address “Music Therapy: Science or Art?”As a clinician and musician, he has developed musical treatments for neurologic injuries and for improving concentration, memory and executive function that can be adapted for use in care facilities and at home.
The Music Therapy Symposium 2012 commences at noon on Friday, day 4 with a hands-on institute with Dr. Gardiner, “Braintuning: A Mental Improvement Playshop.” A full-day event is planned for Saturday, May 5, starting at 9:30 with Dr. Gardiner’s keynote, followed by afternoon concurrent sessions on a variety of topics addressing music therapy research and applications assisting individuals with autism, Alzheimer’s, stroke, TBI, pain management and other cognitive, emotional and/or physical challenges.
Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients' abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people's motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.
