Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy is an established approach to individual and group therapy, using the inherent potential of music as an effective communicative medium. Therapists work with clients through improvised musical activities, aiming to gain and maintain contact in order to establish a dynamic working relationship. Both therapist and client are engaged in a series of interactive therapeutic experiences from session to session, with the therapist supporting each stage of the client's creative development. The music itself is regarded as the main agent of change. While the central methodology will be that developed by Nordoff and Robbins, students will have the opportunity to learn from, observe and work alongside music therapists from other training backgrounds.
This course satisfies the requirements of the Health Professions Council, the International Trust for Nordoff- Robbins Music Therapy and Queen Margaret University. It is necessary, therefore, to ensure that all students who follow this course will receive provision leading to clinical expertise, a clear theoretical and methodological understanding, and the application of creative musical skills for therapeutic purposes
