Music, Time & Self: A Time Model for Understanding Nordoff and Robbins's Improvisations

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Embedded in the Nordoff-Robbins (NR) approach, my presentation focused on the temporal aspect of improvisation in music therapy. I introduced a time model that includes four different temporal invitations employed by NR in supporting their clients' engagement, based on a microanalysis of NR's improvisations with ten of their clients. Finally, I framed my theory within cognitive and psychoanalytic perspectives, i.e., schema theory, and Daniel Stern's developmental approach.
