MUSI 607 - Cultural and Social Foundations of Music Therapy

Institution:

Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Music

Description:

Based on principles of multicultural counseling theory, this course is founded on the premise that because both the client and therapist bring to the therapeutic setting a variety of cultural and social variables, such as age, gender, sexual orientation, education, disability, religion, race, ethnic background, and socioeconomic status, it follows that all therapeutic encounters are cross-cultural encounters. This course requires an openness to in-depth critical self-reflection. Music of diverse cultures will also be explored through readings, analytical listening, experiential activities, and focused musical skill acquisition. Students will apply knowledge about diverse musical cultures to therapeutic situations.
