TI - Experiences of music therapists sharing improvisation remotely during lockdown
JO - Journal of Music, Health, and Wellbeing
AB - Music therapy has faced challenges to practice during lockdown. In this reflexive study, the authors explored the creative possibilities of multi-tracking as a way of sharing improvised dialogues. This involved the creation of recorded improvised ‘prompts’, a few minutes in length, which were then ‘answered’ using audio software. Through reflections which draw on the principles of auto-ethnography, we seek to describe and explore these experiences and draw meaning from them. Both authors are improvising musicians, music therapists and music therapy educators. While the project began as a way of maintaining motivation for musical activity, affective experiences shared by the authors surfaced the need for more systematic reflection on the therapeutic and pedagogical potential of the process.
