Dorf, Ph.D. April 2019 Developing a Model for Clinical Song Analysis, or Why Music Therapists Still Need Music Theory and Musicology Honors Thesis Lesley Wray Department: Music Advisor: Samuel N. Dorf, Ph.D. April 2019 Abstract In the music therapy literature, there is a distinct lack of research on clinical song analysis. Analyzing songs can be beneficial for music therapists when choosing songs to use in a session, when discussing songs with a client, and when arranging songs to play with or for clients. In this thesis, I start to bridge the fields of music therapy, music theory, and musicology to create a language of analysis upon which music therapists can draw for clinical song analysis.
