            Communication and therapy through music

Hampshire MusicSpace - Annual Conference 2008

    PRESENTING:

Tony Wigram: Music Therapist

Tony is a music therapist whose expertise is of international reputation, and we are thrilled to have him with us in Hampshire on this occasion. His presentation will have a largely practical content and will provide practice tools for the participants that are intended to sustain the creativity of improvisation while adding some clear structure and method to its clinical application.

Examples of his work on film will be included, and signed copies of his book ‘Improvisation’ published by Jessica Kingsley 2004 will be available for purchase.  

Risenga Makondo: African musician trained in music therapy

Risenga’s practical workshop will provide fresh ways of approaching improvisation from a non-European cultural perspective. In: The Call or ‘Mbizo’, he invites us to … ‘Come along and join me. I will share with you an African musical feast. The aim of this musical feast is to make sure that all will leave the workshop with a broader understanding of cultural diversity that hopefully they can take away with them to use in their music therapy. 

The feast will be on one plate. We will all sit in a circle and use our hands to eat. There will be water to wash your hands before dinner, however after dinner you may use the grass to wipe your hands or you can lick your fingers clean. Of course people may come from other cultures where each person has their own plate with a fork and knife. So we must gently explain our way of life. He or she must enjoy this sharing experience of our feast, let them feel at home and welcome.’

 Louise Neale: Hampshire MusicSpace music therapist

Louise will present her approaches and findings regarding improvisation in music therapy across different client groups, including the use of technology.
