Research is an AMTA Priority – Make It Yours! Dr. Tony Wigram, LGMS (MT), RMT Friday, November 16, 2007 9:45 AM – 10:45 AM Grand Ballroom A
Music therapy research is the lifeblood of the profession – and the adrenalin that feeds the clinical field and the academic world!! It matters to EVERYONE – and we all need to invest in it. Research findings are important for job creation, music therapy methods with clients, and, most importantly, recognition by other disciplines. Music therapy MUST have a firm foundation and research evidence, together with clinician observed and client reported effects give us evidence based practice. Come to the research plenary session and hear about the richness, the variety, and the importance and relevance of research explained in everyday, understandable language. You may not want to become a researcher, but to know about research findings, and to be able to communicate them and apply them in your clinical work will raise your profile and gain the esteem of your colleagues.
Whether you are a music therapy educator, student, clinician or researcher, you are ALL involved in this sequence of related factors –
Clients’ needs ……..clinicians’ goals………research findings…….therapeutic methods…….. therapy process and outcome…….music therapy education.
Please join Tony Wigram, Professor of Music Therapy and Head of PhD Studies in Music Therapy, University of Aalborg, Denmark as he provides his insights and valuable perspective on communicating the relationship of research to practice.
Research is an AMTA priority – make it yours! Let’s make sure everyone takes music therapy seriously.

14 — 9th Annual AMTA Conference Information Subject to Change Conference Chair Presents... The Music Therapy Innovator Series Part II: Harnessing Innovative Music Therapy Research
ince last year’s “Conference Chair Presents…” Music Therapy Innovator Series, Sfeaturing panels of innovative, distinguished and influential music therapists, was very well-received, we are repeating this format for 2007. As research is a strategic priority for AMTA and this year’s conference celebrates the connection and strength among music therapists with the theme “Harness the Spirit of Music Therapy,” our panelists will Ronna Kaplan, MA, MT-BC discuss their journeys toward Harnessing Innovative Music Therapy Research. AMTA Vice President and Conference Program Chair This year we have scheduled two panel presentations to focus on innovative music therapy research with unique specific populations and on unique topics. These discussions, which will occur both among the panelists and with session attendees, should be very informative, interesting, thought-provoking, and inspiring. Being among these great minds is an opportunity that should not be missed! I expect the presentations to make a unique addition to the conference, just as the panelists themselves have made to the field of music therapy. Please join us as we learn about the various featured research projects, their inceptions, their important outcomes and secondary “by-products,” and their possible future effects on music therapy, related fields, or our clientele.
Harnessing Innovative Music Therapy Friday, November 16, 8:00-9:30 am - Grand Ballroom A William B. Davis, PhD, RMT, Historical Music Therapy Research Dr. Davis has been involved in historical research since his graduate school days at the University of Kansas. Dr. George Heller, his main inspiration and mentor in the development of his personal interest in the history of music therapy, pointed out at that time that there was very little knowledge about our rich history. This spurred Davis to begin a career long interest in discovering the past people, places and events that shaped our professional growth and development. Important outcomes of Davis’ research, along with that of some of his colleagues, demonstrate that music therapy was alive and well for many years preceding the establishment of NAMT in 1950. Another important characteristic of good historical research is that it can illustrate what we have done right to develop the profession but also how we can improve our standing as a legitimate therapy.
Dianne Gregory, MM, MT-BC, Use of Computers and Technology in Training Music Therapists Dr. Gregory will share two innovative procedures that provide examples of utilizing video and computers in music therapy education. One procedure collects students’ hypothesized self-attributions of comfort and skill while watching diverse brief clinical scenarios and provides data for graphic comparisons across a variety of populations. Another procedure provides online video vignettes for students to learn and apply useful communication skills prior to their participation in an Arts in Medicine program in a general hospital.
Cathy McKinney, PhD, MT-BC, Guided Imagery and Music In the 1980’s, two case studies reported significant, positive health changes resulting from the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy. At the same time, there was a growing body of research in the related fields of psychoneuroimmunology and psychoneuroendocrinology demonstrating the powerful effects of the mind on the body and of psychosocial interventions on health. Since the 1980’s case studies, a series of studies illuminated the potential of the synergistic combination of music, imagery, and consciousness that comprises the Bonny Method to effect changes in physiology, as well as both physical and mental health.
Alan L. Solomon, PhD, RMT, A Searchable CD-ROM of Music Therapy Research Music Therapy Research: Quantitative and Qualitative Foundations CD-ROM 1964-1998 is a searchable CD-ROM of music therapy research originally published in three different publications by the National Association for Music Therapy and the American Association for Music Therapy. The intent of this project, published by AMTA in 1999, was to allow researchers from music therapy and other disciplines to simultaneously search through the entire historical research base in music therapy for references in specific articles or to identify multiple articles with common subjects or themes. A secondary goal was to provide additional resources to AMTA through sales of the CD-ROM. Now in its second edition, which updates the literature through 2003, this project apparently continues to meet both of its initial goals.
15 — 9th Annual AMTA Conference Information Subject to Change Alan Turry, DA, NRMT, LCAT, MT-BC, Connection between Words and Music in Music Therapy Improvisation: An Examination of a Therapist’s Method This study examined the relationship between lyrics and music in improvised songs created in music therapy. The material was drawn from the therapy process of a woman who came to music therapy as a result of a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The research framework providing the context for the study was naturalistic inquiry (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy was the clinical framework which provided the context for the therapy process. The study built on current Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy literature by addressing the dearth of literature regarding adult work and psychological processes, addressing directly the interaction between music and words, and by shedding further light on the shared mutual process of song formation—words and music—between therapist and client, with special focus on the musical directions emerging within the improvisation process and how these can result in music of clinical significance and benefit for the client. Dr. Turry will present his ideas regarding the process of creating improvised songs and explain how this process is a form of transformative music psychotherapy (Bruscia, 1998).
Harnessing Innovative Music Therapy Research with Specific Populations Saturday, November 17, 3:45-5:15 pm - Grand Ballroom A Alice-Ann Darrow, PhD, MT-BC, Clinical Implications for Evidence-Based Music Therapy Practice for Children with Hearing Loss Although the first known article about music and the deaf was written in 1848, most of the research regarding music perception and persons with hearing losses has been published in the last 30 years. A retrospective synthesis of this research provides the opportunity to examine in greater depth the impact of the range of attitudes, abilities, and responses represented within the deaf population and the impact of related technological and sociocultural influences. The population of individuals who have a hearing loss is diverse (e.g., hard of hearing to profound loss; oral or manual communication; hearing or deaf cultural affiliation), and consequently Dr. Darrow’s and others’ research regarding music and those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing reflects that fact.
Kate Gfeller, PhD, RMT, Music Perception and Enjoyment for Recipients of Cochlear Implants: Understanding Influencing Factors and Assistive Aural Rehabilitation Approaches Cochlear implants (CI) are assistive hearing devices designed to help persons with profound deafness with speech perception. While the CI is quite effective in aiding speech recognition, it is anything but ideal for transmitting the key features of music. Most CI recipients are significantly poorer than normal hearing persons on perception of pitch, melody, and timbre, though some CI recipients show remarkable benefit for music perception and enjoyment. Dr. Gfeller’s research focuses on (a) understanding factors influencing perception and enjoyment of CI recipients for specific structural features of music; and (b) aural rehabilitation approaches that can assist CI recipients in garnering optimal perceptual acuity and enjoyment out of music listening.
Judith Jellison, PhD, MT-BC, AttitudesToward Inclusion and Students with Disabilities A unique study conducted by Dr. Jellison and Donald Taylor presents a review of music research examining attitudes toward inclusion and persons with disabilities in music settings. Over 6000 students and teachers/therapists participated in 32 studies published between 1975 and 2005. Children with disabilities were participants in only two studies, and no studies measured attitudes of parents, siblings, professionals other than teachers, or adults with disabilities. Much of the information from surveys of music teachers is dated, geographically specific, and limited in its generalizability. More informative are findings from experimental/quasi-experimental studies that examined effects of extended direct contact, expectations, and labeling, the findings of which are consistent with research from other disciplines; however, the unique role of music participation in attitude formation and attitude change related to persons with disabilities has yet to be explored.
Carol Prickett, PhD, MT-BC, Rhythmic Tactile Stimulation and Singing to Increase Participation and Alertness in People with Advanced Symptoms of Dementia The project Dr. Prickett will discuss took place at the Mary Starke Harper Center for Geropsychiatry in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. As part of a summer-long training program for people who would work with dementia patients, Dr. Prickett and five University of Alabama music therapy students conducted research combining what we know about rhythmic tactile stimulation and what we know about singing to demonstrate a method to increase participation and alertness in people with advanced symptoms of dementia. Besides achieving the anticipated increase, this project was innovative in allowing undergraduate students an opportunity to collaborate with professionals to prepare them to design a clinically effective research protocol.
Both these panels recognize the prominent position research plays in the future of music therapy. Please join us to participate in dynamic conversations regarding some of the most “cutting edge” and timely research innovations in our field.

57 — 9th Annual AMTA Conference Information Subject to Change Thank you!...From Conference Chair, Ronna Kaplan
I am “Bubbling Over” with thanks for all the individuals who made this conference possible and shaped its success!
First of all, I would like to extend a huge “thank you” to you, the attendees, at our 9th annual AMTA conference, because without your presence and input, there would not have been a conference.
Next, I cannot thank the presenters of the concurrent sessions, CMTE’s, Institutes, and Research Posters enough, because, again, without your participation, there would not have been a conference!
This year’s Program Review Committee, Michael Cassity, Janice Harris, Marcia Humpal, and Petra Kern, played a vital role in the planning and development of the conference’s content. Their broad range of perspectives and tireless, timely and thorough review of all proposals allowed for the diversity and depth of our program offerings.
Continuing the tradition of last year’s Conference Chair Presents Music Therapy Innovators Series, I would like to thank Ken Aigen and Jayne Standley for their valuable input and recommendations in the shaping of our 2007 panels. I would further like to thank our Conference Chair Presents… The Music Therapy Innovator Series Part II panelists, Alice-Ann Darrow, Kate Gfeller, Bill Davis, Dianne Gregory, Judith Jellison, Cathy McKinney, Carol Prickett, Alan Solomon, and Alan Turry, for sharing their expertise, knowledge, and enthusiasm with us.
I also greatly appreciate the commitment of the institute chairs, Petra Kern, Michelle Lazar, Cheryl Dileo, Barbara Reuer, Barbara Crowe, and Clive Robbins. Their outstanding efforts served to develop a composite of guests and “cutting edge,” timely information and techniques on their respective topics. In a similar vein, I thank Jayne Standley, Andrea Cevasco, Darcy Walworth, Judy Nguyen for their offering of pre-conference specialized training.
Thank you very much to my friend and colleague, Tony Wigram, who served as our plenary speaker, launching AMTA’s important research priority.
Heartfelt thanks go to Joanne Loewy as well for her planning and facilitating of The Music Therapist Unplugged.
I greatly appreciate the work of Doug Keith, who again served as abstract editor for the final conference program.
Thank you also to all the AMTA Regional Presidents, AMTA Board of Directors, Assembly of Delegates, and committee chairs for your hard work behind the scenes and leading and participating in the various meetings throughout the conference.
Thank you once again to Vice President-Elect Marcia Humpal who has contributed to this conference in many ways, while at the same time learning her role in future AMTA conferences.
Thank you also to our diverse exhibitors, who enriched our conference and provided instruments and equipment for our workshops and sessions.
Thank you to the management and staff of the Galt House Hotel and Suites for making our stay here very pleasant.
A huge “thank you” goes to our local conference chairs, Jenny Branson and Jenny Krider, and their amazing team of committee chairs, both professionals and students: Kerry Chamberlain Willis, Greta Gillmeister, Lorinda Jones, Cheryle Lawrence, Julia Purcell, Armistead Grandstaff, Allison Kerr, Cheyenne Mize, Merritt Navazio, Lara Trimpe, Barbara Wheeler, Donna Parker, Mary Ellen Wylie, and Allison Cross. They have definitely “harnessed the spirit” of cooperation and hard work in their organizing and making local arrangements for the conference!
And finally, I want to thank the AMTA National office staff for their efficient, tireless, and outstanding work in planning and running the conference. Al Bumanis, as the AMTA Director of Communications and Conferences, always freely shared his wealth of knowledge and experience. It has been a great pleasure working with this “Majestic Prince” and the remainder of our outstanding staff, Andi Farbman, Dianne Wawrzusin, Angie Elkins, Judy Simpson, Jane Creagan, Cindy Smith, Rebecca Smith, Judy Kaplan, Tawna Grasty and Barb Else. Their attention to all the conference details has ensured our comfortable ride into this “Bold Venture” this year.
I certainly hope I have not forgotten anyone who is deserving of thanks in regard to the conference. If so, I humbly apologize. Thank you all for your contributions and for being here!

In the last decades, there has been an unprecedented growth in the music therapy literature, both clinical and scientific. How can we, clinicians and researchers, integrate the rich voices and timbres of an increasing body of music therapy knowledge into clinical practice? From a clinical perspective, our primary concern is using music to best meet the multidimensional needs of our clients. From a scientific perspective, we are preoccupied with how our inquiry can best contribute to the development of music therapy. Regardless of the ways in which we orchestrate these various perspectives, we must continually balance our creativity, intuition, knowledge and skills with attention to both the solo parts and the ensemble.
