Description

The aim of this book was not only to provide an overview of the current situation of music therapy training programmes in Europe, but to also give detailed insights into the structure and the content of music therapy training courses in different European countries. Thus, it literally draws a map of all 119 European music therapy training programmes, including a detailed table in the appendix of the book with facts from tuition fees to internet links of every training course.
The detailed portrait of ten selected music therapy training programmes encompasses the following: Vienna, Austria, Leuven, Belgium, Aalborg, Denmark, Paris, France, Augsburg, Germany, Ferrara, Italy, Liepaja, Latvia, Katowice, Poland, Barcelona, Spain, and Roehampton, United Kingdom.
The rationale for the selection was to portray degree programmes from various countries, covering the three European regions according to EMTC’s organisational structure: North, Middle and South of Europe. In addition, we strived to include different music therapy backgrounds, approaches, phases of institutional developments, different healthcare systems, different status of legal recognition of music therapy, and so on.
Following a common framework, each chapter gives insights into the theoretical background, admission procedures, and the structure and content of the particular training programme, focusing especially on clinical training and internships, musical training, experiential learning and music therapy self-experience, as well as the evaluation procedures concerning the quality of teaching.
The last part of the book then offers a conclusion and an outlook by the editors, summing up and commenting on the synopsis of curricula depicted in the previous chapters.
