Receptive Music Therapy Workshop

 

Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre

251 Faraday Street, Carlton, Melbourne

 

April 6, 2024, 9:30am – 3:30pm

 

The Receptive Music Therapy workshop is for Registered Music Therapists who would like to advance their understanding of using advanced receptive music therapy methods in their practice. We will use experiential methods to revitalize and inspire the use of receptive music therapy for self-care as well as the people we work with.

 

Content

We commence with Repeated & Intentional Music Listening, to attune our listening skills to hear more deeply, and to hear with our bodies not only our ears. This is followed by Music Drawing Narrative, a beautiful process that commences with drawing to music and then segues into writing a reflection on what has been drawn. Finally, there is a segment on Creating Expert Playlists, drawing on our expert knowledge of the repertoire.
