Music Therapy Groups with Children Summary

Music Therapy Groups with Children: Activities for Groups with Particular Needs by Amelia Oldfield

This one-stop practical book guides you to run a wide range of music therapy groups with pre-school and primary aged children with additional needs. Gain understanding on how to adapt and improvise to ensure that the group meets the individual child's needs, from simple tweaks - such as selecting easier to use instruments and adjusting table heights - to improvising on a single line instrument while dancing around the room. This book includes specific guidance on how to structure sessions to cater for children with neurodivergent needs, physical and learning disabilities, and those receiving psychiatric support, with tailored sessions for each client group.


60 ideas of group activities, complete with sheet music and helpful illustrations to bring the text to life, make this book your ideal practice companion.
