GREETINGS OF
THE
CONSERVATORY
DIRECTOR
The idea of organizing this international conference on Music Therapy
in Higher Education was born with the objective to compare our
experience since 2003 in Conservatory of Pescara with what happens in
the schools of Music Therapy active at Conservatories and Universities
across Europe.
The Conference will provide an important opportunity to initiate a
reflection through a scientific comparison of didactic courses exist at
the community level and it will allow teachers and students of Music
Therapy to measure their experiences and expertise, with those given in
the other reality similar existing in Europe. I am sure that the effort
made by all members of our Institute for the realization of the project
will be rewarded by excellent results.
The traditional hospitality of our region of its people will help to make it
even more enjoyable and memorable the participation to the
conference. Special thanks go to Prof. Silvio Luigi Feliciani, staff, and
student volunteers without whom this Conference would not have been
possible. On behalf of myself I send greetings to all the speakers and
participants for an inspiring and uplifting Conference.
M° Massimo Magri
GREETINGS OF THE
HONORARY PRESIDENT OF
CONFERENCE
As the current WFMT President, I want to
thank the CLDA for organizing this dynamic
International Conference on “Training in
Music
Therapy
and
Europe”.
The
Conservatory of Pescara under the
leadership of Massimo Magri are working
hard to prepare an outstanding program that features important
presentations on academic courses, clinical placement opportunities,
legal issues and employment for music therapists. Concurrent paper
presentations are being accepted by both professionals and students
alongside submissions for the poster session.
It is timely that the Conservatory is preparing this conference as they
are the first educational institution in Italy to offer a degree program in
music therapy. What an outstanding opportunity for music therapists,
health care professionals, musicians, students, researchers and
educators to share their work with a focus on stimulating and
advancing the growth of music therapy in Italy and Europe. I look
forward to meeting you and am privileged to be the Honorary President
of this conference.
Regards,
President, WFMT

MESSAGE FROM THE
CONFERENCE
COORDINATOR
It is for me a great honor to be able to
attract at this conservatory a large number
of music therapists .
The choice to organize the conference,
and the choice of the theme mainly stems from the strategic role that the
Conservatory of Pescara has played in recent years in Italy in the area of
training in Music Therapy.
Our Bachelor degree program is currently the only one in Italy, and has about
60 students, some with very successful international placements through
Erasmus. All learners do placements at national rehabilitation centers and
hospitals affiliated committed for more than two years in rehabilitation
projects, with children and adults affected by any kind of disability. Other
trails, in other Italian Conservatories of music are biennial specialization
courses. There are no university degree programs in Music Therapy.
Consequently, with good reason the Conservatory of Pescara Pescara is a
prime candidate to play a proactive, interlocutory referential and privileged
role, backed by governmental structures that will take care of the
professional standards of Music Therapy in Italy.
Although standardization will take a long time, we will fight to ensure that
adequate standardization is provided, in line with the parameters of training
in Music Therapy in European Higher Education Institutions.
In order to respond fully to this objective in the Conservatory today we wish
to promote a comparison between all the European academic realities.
You will certainly have noticed that I want to give the students the possibility
to express their opinions.
They are -the students- the real stars of our work as trainers. And their
presence, along with their voice, is for us a great stimulus and a strong
element of reflection.
Welcome everyone, then, welcome to our colleagues, welcome to the
authorities, and welcome to the students.
For the Conservatory of Pescara this is the first time we have organised such
a complex event as that of an international conference. But I am sure that
we will be up to our task, we will be hospitable and appropriate, and we will
provide a decisive contribution to the development of training in music
therapy in Europe.
Sincerely Yours,

Challenges of Music Therapy development in Europe.
Conception of the sustainable development model
The Commission on Education and Training, World
Federation
of
Music
Therapy
promotes
dissemination
of
knowledge
regarding
contemporary guidelines for the standards of the
education and training of music therapists around
the world. As the European Commissioner, I focus
on music therapy in Europe mostly on the
achievements, problems and challenges of this
discipline. One of the most important aims of the
Commission is to encourage discussions regarding
educational standards and to develop educational
resources for music therapy educators to further enhance education/training
practices. All these issues are close to my heart, not only as a music therapist,
but also as President of the Polish Music Therapists’ Association (PSMT), an
organisation which tries to do its best to support the development of the
discipline in Poland. It has been noticed that some countries have developed
structures and built good relations with other professionals, others,
particularly countries and regions where music therapy is not yet well
established, are still struggling with various challenges: how to organize the
process of music therapists’ training, develop the discipline, become a
partner for national health care systems. Formulating answers is not easy
and definitely must follow a process.
The sustainable development model for music therapy will be described. The
system was designed for countries which need support in the building of the
music therapy profession. It shows a process of training and building
structures and describes all the important steps that must be taken to
provide solid grounds for the development of this discipline. It takes into
account such important aspects of development like training and practice,
research and publications.
The sustainable development model has been accepted by the PSMT and
implemented in Poland. Last year the model was recognized at the World
Music Therapy Congress in Austria.

THE STUDENTS SAY...
Our experience as music therapist at the Karol Lipiński
Academy of Music in Wroclaw (Poland)
This presentation describes our experience as
music therapist at the Karol Lipiński Academy of
Music in Wroclaw (Poland). We begins by describing
who we are and where we come from. After we
describe our training program: the Bachelor degree
and the Master degree. We talk about the content
related to the compulsory disciplines that we
attended, and we'll talk about those optionals
disciplines too. Than we will describe the practical
activities that we attended during the practical
activity (the integration of the different applications
of music therapy in rehabilitation activities in schools, in the cardiology
department of a hospital, a psychiatric hospital, centers for the blind and
others). We'll tell you what we felt during these experiences. After we will
discuss how we can organize activities of music therapy in various centers,
and for what objectives. Finally we will present
the Music Therapy Scientific students
organization, we will describe the many events
we organize through this organization
(conferences, jam sessions, concerts and more)
in order to present and teach music therapy in
Wroclaw). We will close our presentation by
describing what we can do with the program
Erasmus to Karol Lipinski Academy of Music.
We hope, for this presentation, it will be able to
provide a useful contribution to the information that this conference try to
achieve. A contribution told from the voice of someone who has personally
experienced of studying before, and after use, the skills to do the job of a

Pescara Conservatory partnership - our training at
Mayfield School in Torquay – UK (Italy)
Our training at the Mayfield School, a
specialist school for Cognition and Learning
disability. What we want to share is: our
experience and how is important it is for a
student to go abroad, put into practice the
objectives of your country course, develop
learning and skills testing; everything in
another language and with people with
different course of study. The importance, in
our view, to draw from different experiences.
What this training helped us for: to create a progressive sense of belonging
to a professional community, developing
theoretical and practical skills useful in different
contexts.
The detailed program of the training period:
observation sessions with clients, writing
individualized project built based on client
characteristics, our role as music therapists and
as co-therapists, ourmodels of music therapy
used and deepened (like Nordoff Robbins and
Clifford Madsen), cooperation with activities
supportuseful to establish an emphatic relation
with the customer and a greater knowledge alsoimportant for best sessions
of music therapy, our weekly supervision sessions and their structure,
monitoring and evaluation planof our work through weekly reports sent to
our Academic course Coordinator, the final report.

From inspiration to action - impact of international
experience on music therapist`s career (Poland)
Erasmus scholarship is not just a way to discover
foreign Because in music therapy there are so many
approaches and country, get new friends or
additional value to one’s CV. ways of leading
sessions, it seems to be crucial to know and feel the
variety. International exchanges give a great
opportunity not only to explore it in practice but also
to understand and respect the differences. In the
presentation I will tell how did I see the differences in
the way of studying in Wrocław and Verona, pointing
out the skills that I got there and use in everyday
professional life. I will also tell why after studying in Verona I made up my
mind and became music therapist. Erasmus was really enriching experienceit provided me with knowledge, opening many doors. But what I personally
found the most important – it opened my eyes to my imperfections as well
as strengths.

new psychotherapy statute (1120/2010 2a §) in
Finnish law. Only those universities, which have a
responsibility for the medical and psychological
training are allowed to arrange psychotherapy
training in Finland currently. Master of
Philosophy in music therapy has been accepted
as a ground university degree since 2012 when
the first advanced psychodynamic music
psychotherapy training in 2007–2011 at the
University of Oulu was authorized leading to the
protected psychotherapist tittle by the Valvira (National Supervisory
Authority for Welfare and Health). The 4-year psychodynamic music therapy
training is an integrative psychotherapy training including the verbal
psychodynamic psychotherapist and the music therapist trainings. The
graduated students who have completed their studies successfully evaluated
by the university receive the authorization to use psychotherapist tittle from
the Valvira. Music psychotherapists can work as an independent
psychotherapists and the rehabilitation service providers of the
psychodynamic psychotherapy and music therapy for the Kela (Social
Insurance Institute of Finland). (Alanne 2013; 2014a; b; Alanne & Wahlberg,
2014.)
Music psychotherapist training in Finland is theoretically developed from the
clinical work and the theories of the pioneering music therapists Juliette
Alvin, Mary Priestley and Helen L. Bonny in 1960`s and 1970`s (Bruscia 1998;
Hadley, 2003). It is grounded on the psychodynamic psychotherapy and the
latest development of psychoanalytic theory. However, music psychotherapy
also binds to its own methodology and clinical theory building emphasizing
especially the deep understanding of the musical meaning and interaction in
a psychotherapeutic process. The key elements and contents of authorized
Music Psychotherapist Training program will be introduced in the
presentation. (Alanne, 2010; 2014a; De Backer & Sutton, 2014.)

In Latvia, music therapy is a comparatively new form of
health care and rehabilitation, which has been
established only ten years ago, but is already nationally
approved specialty. The educational programmes of
music therapy have been set up in two Universities.
Music therapy is taught in Liepaja`s University and Riga Stradins University
(being one of 4 arts therapies specializations – others are: art, dancemovement and drama therapy). Both study programmes are Master’s level
studies, that last for 5 and 6 semesters. Master’s programme has been
developed in accordance with the Regulations of the Latvia`s Cabinet of
Ministers. Recommendations for the preparation of art therapists proposed
by employers and professional association of arts/music therapies have been
taken into consideration during the development of programme.
Both universities are active participants of EU-ERASMUS docent mobility
programmes and from 2004 to 2014 have hosted such guest lecturers as R.
Haus (D), Aleksiene, V. (LT), J.Erkkila, (FIN), H.Fausch-Pfister (CH), I. GutāneSiener (A).,P. Hoffmann, P. (D), J.Moreno (USA), M.Noecker-Ribaupierre (D),

legislation regulates that Music therapist after qualifying is obligated to
supervise his own practice and has to pass certification as medical
practitioner in health care (same as doctors and/or nurses).

Bachelor & Master Training Program in Music Therapy
ad the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems
(Austria) – Reflections
This presentation will be devided into two
parts:
1. Part one will describe main aspects of the
Bachelor- & Master-Programes in Krems,
which are organsized according to the
Federal Law on Music Therapy in Austria.
The Bachelor Program puts it’s focus on the
development of practical therapeutical
skills. The focus of the Master Program lies on the development of practical
research skills.
This part will also be illustrated by some video-examples of clinical training
sessions.
2. Part two of the presentation will reflect upon different „role models“,
which are connected to different attributions and expectations. We should
be aware, that - as teachers, students, patients, therapists etc. - persons
always act in the frame of role models. Nevertheless humans are more than
the role they are referred to.
It will be discussed, how students may find a deeper understanding of their
role as a music therapist.

some modules, for example, will be shared with students on the MSc in Art
Psychotherapy. This presentation will provide an overview of the course
content, together with information about credits, the assessment pattern
and the length of practice placements.

Presentation of the training program of the School of
Psychotherapy and Integrated Music Therapy, Rome
(Italy)
The School of Psychotherapy and Integrated Music
Therapy – SPIM (officially recognized by Italian
Ministry of Research and Education in 2003) offers a
post – degree, four – year training for psychology
and/or physician. The school program is based on
the framework of second-generation cognitive
science: it includes interdisciplinary contributions
describing how human beings develop and function
from a neurophysiologic and psychological
perspective. The uniqueness of the proposed
program is that it is integrative in three ways: It integrates neurophysiological
and psychological aspects of the person, tacit and explicit modes of
consciousness, and nonverbal and verbal codes for meaning.
For the above reasons, the program addresses the complexity of human
beings by integrating theory and research based on second-generation
cognitive science and by training students in different methods of
psychotherapy, such as cognitive psychotherapy (Beck, 1976; Ellis, 1962;
Guidano, 1987, 1991; Lazarus, 1991; Liotti, 2007) and music therapy, that is,
Guided Imagery and Music (Bruscia, 2002). It is in this same vein that the
integrated cognitive program refers to a psychology of health based on
autonomy, freedom, development of human potentialities, and selffulfillment, all of which involve the self-reflection needed to be continually
aware of one's own characteristics and resources.
The SPIM program addresses several issues: (l) It outlines how analogical and
analytic modalities work together to process information; (2) It shows
various metaphorical methods to elicit tacit knowledge and its verbal
representation; (3) It provides a body of evidence to support the idea that
music does indeed have emotional power for developing self-awareness; and
(4) It proposes an integrated methodology to improve the efficacy and
efficiency of therapeutic intervention, based on the same processes and
functions that human beings use in their own lives to promote knowledge
and development.

The music improvisation in the active music therapy
Music therapy improvisation we
find many points in common
with
the
proper
music
(instruments, forms, people ...),
but there are other skills
(transference
countertransference, personal
sound analysis, phenomena
fonosymbolic
...),
equally
important that connote the
epistemological premises and objectives.
In the treaty is emphasized, both as regards the musical skills of basic
rhythmic and harmonic (to explore the potential of aesthetic gratification),
the other to those appropriate skills "meta-musical" (sound and sense,
symbolization, energy aspects ...) fundamental to operate well in a group of
active music therapy.
Together with the musical aspects, will investigate the basic concepts of nonverbal language (empathy, mirror biological ...) and those more closely
related to the Benenzon methodology (setting, ISO, ... GOS).
Particular attention will be directed to use conventional and especially "nonconventional" guitar as a tool aggregator in the group and more properly
"intermediary object" in the relationship.

Music Therapy in progress
The Poster that we want to present, it shows the itinerary
and the development of the Music therapy in Italy, from the
70’s till our days. What we want to highlight is just how
Music therapy has become established and especially how
it is developing now. It must consider that, unlike the other
European countries, in Italy music therapy is more recent ;
and just because it is a ‘’new ‘’ discipline
, it creates a kind of scepticism today ,
especially in the healthcare community; and it is not
considered so important. Therefore no one examines it,
and even the governmental authorities don’t take any
stand about this situation. The way of a right
consideration of the music therapy is still so far; and
many music therapists fight constantly in order to
consider it like a real profession. In fact as the title of the
poster suggests “music therapy in progress”.

The legally recognized of the
Musictherapist in Europe
The purpose is to show in which European Countries is
legally recognized the figure of the Music therapist and in
which are not. The profession of the Music therapist, by
ancient roots and of current issue, is unstoppably
projected into wider and independent areas, supported by
scientific
awards
and
numerous
therapeutic
achievements, publications, researches and experiments
that confirm the high potential of the discipline and the
interest that it arouses. We highlight the
continuous stress by many Musictherapists to
recognize the professional figure of the
Musictherapist,
through
governmental
regulation that rules their professional duties
and the establishment of a national roll.

Education and Training in Music Therapy
In many European countries the training of the music
therapist is not recognized as a tertiary level
education. Based on the guidelines of the European
Music Therapy Confederation, the purpose of this
work is to provide an overview of training courses in
Europe, differentiating public and private sector and
focusing on what kind of school of music therapy such
courses are located. Even in tertiary education, the
study of music therapy arouses confusion because it is included in many
disciplines: from Arts and Music to Health and Psychological sectors. For
these reasons, specific official statistics from Eurostat are unavailable:
qualitative data are complemented by statistical indicators that enclose
culture, employment and education at country level.

Erasmus in Europe
This poster will report the possible modalities of
Erasmus in MT (Placement and SMS) proposed by the
Conservatoire of Pescara, both for internal students ,
that is students enrolled in our graduate program, and
for external students, who choose
our institute as their Erasmus
location. It will mention the major
entities affiliated with our conservatoire so far and will
expose the functioning of the recent governmental
regulations for which each student from an EU or nonEU country can propose their preference regarding the
seat. We will indicate the best institutions of higher
education present in Europe and the best courses of
study relating to specific models in the field of music therapy. We decided to
illustrate the modalities and the main locations in Europe to facilitate and
direct the Exchange and the choices of study among students .

Conservatoire of Music "L. D'Annunzio" in Pescara
that gives enabling to the profession of music
therapist, the importance of the only recognized title
by MIUR (Education, University and Research
Ministry) in Italy and the moment when it is
established as experimental course at the
Conservatoire. We are going to develop already
studied subjects, the importance they have inside the
course and we will give further information about the conduct of admission
examination. We will give space to the practice that students have
opportunity to do within the affiliated centers and
about how experiences are supervised in the
class. Masterclass, workshops and seminars that
students of this course have chance to frequent
will be also represented, specializing in some
techniques they have not treated in previous
studies. Everything will be given on paper with the
utilization of graphical representations, images
and captions. If it could be possible, we will try to
bring testimonies of enrolled and undergraduates
students about their experiences, expectations and difficulties they have
faced during the course. In the end, we will try to present life in the
Conservatoire from students attending the course.
