Improvisational Music Therapy Method
The improvisational model often includes Nordoff-Robbins, Clinical Orff Schulwerk, or
other types of improvisational styles. The basic philosophy of improvisational music
therapy is that these techniques elicit a client's response from every level. It develops
contact with the client within the context of the musical experience. The role of a
music therapist in this model often works supportively, creating a musical emotional
environment that accepts and enhances the client's responses. This method provides
experiences for socialization, communication, and expression of feelings and
emotions among group participants.
The most common instruments used for this method are rhythm instruments and Orff
instruments. The music therapist can also integrate movement, speech, and drama in
this model.
