Abstract
Music Therapy is the use of music by a board certified music therapist to achieve non-musical goals. Songwriting is an effective intervention for inviting expression and healing. The predictable form of a song can help facilitate the songwriting process and invite greater participation. Form is the general organization of a song. For example, most pop songs on the radio consist of a verse/chorus pattern that allows listeners to easily sing along. This presentation explores how a repetitious and simple form in a songwriting intervention empowers victims of trauma. The predictable form enables the clients to safely participate in the songwriting process and facilitates their success in achieving clinical goals. Presentation Time: Wednesday, 2-3 p.m. Zoom link: https://usu-edu.zoom.us/j/82395470053?pwd=MkFrWWNvSjhvWWwvQ2RRb3ltYitjZz09
