MUSIC THERAPY… WHAT’S THAT?
• Research-based practice
• Intentional use of music by a university trained professional who is registered with the AMTA
• RMTs draw on an extensive body of research and are bound by a code of ethics that informs their practice
• Health, community, aged care, disability, early childhood and private practice
• Music Therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on health, functioning and wellbeing

ATTACHMENT
IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULTS
• Childhood hospitalisation / surgical procedures?
• Family present during hospitalisation?
• Potential musical connection with others (irrespective of level of hearing)?
• Connection with own children?
??
CONNECTION
IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULTS
• Familiarisation of specific sound = movement away from rhythmic only (cochlear implant specific)
• Musical engagement for socialisation
• Music / songs for celebrations (e.g. birthdays, Christmas carols, etc)
• Group music making (in the community)
• Instrument learning ??
(AUDITORY) MUSICAL TRAINING
IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULTS
• You could train yourself!
??
ENJOYING [FAMILIAR] MUSIC
IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULTS
• Solo instrumental music
• Monophonic = ONE note at a time (e.g. flute)
• Multiphonic = multiple instruments / multiple pitches (e.g. orchestral music, pop music, etc)
• Acoustic music (i.e. voice + ONE instrument)
• Potential progression from monophonic to multiphonic
• Music / songs for celebrations (e.g. birthdays, Christmas carols, etc) ??
THERAPEUTIC SINGING
• Speech rehabilitation (intelligibility)
• Decrease levels of cortisol (stress) in the bloodstream
• Release of stored muscle tension
• Improve alertness
• Mindful breathing
• Improve memory
• Socialisation
“YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE”
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
IMPLICATIONS FOR ADULTS
• Enjoyment
• Expression
• Connection with others
• Clarity of speech (articulation)
• Greater range of pitch in verbal language ??
SONG WRITING
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
GETTING BACK INTO MUSIC?
• Pre vs. post cochlear implant music listening
• Acoustic versions (less instruments)
• Acapella music (voice only)
• Solo arrangements
• Spend some time listening to a variety of music to help you to discover what you are drawn to…
• Solo vs. mulit-instrumental
• Low instruments vs. high instruments
• Male vs. female voice
And remember…
YOUR brain has the ability to RE-WIRE itself!
