The workshop will focus on the four main music methods: receptive, recreative, improvisational, and compositional. The facilitators, who are music therapists from different organisations, will demonstrate the music strategies of each method and explain how these music strategies can be effectively used to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of patients. It does not intend to replace the role of music therapy in palliative care setting, but to affirm the therapeutic use of music which can be utilised in the care of patients.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate between music therapy and therapeutic use of music
- Demonstrate the appropriate use of each music method and its procedure
- Explain how music can be used to complement their existing practice
- Integrate at least two music strategies that can be used in their care for patients
This workshop is offered free to participants as Assisi Hospice’s gift to the community. It is for healthcare professionals and decision-makers who are actively practising in clinical settings and are interested in incorporating music in their clinical practice to enhance patient outcome. No prior music knowledge is required.
