Abstract
Music therapy education focuses on the use of several methods in clinical practice. One
of the more commonly used methods is songwriting. Songwriting methods are covered to various
extents in most music therapy education programs. However, learning how and when to
implement a particular song writing method may not be addressed as thoroughly. Therefore, the
purpose of this research is to better understand the songwriting method variations used by
experienced music therapists, how often they use them, and their perceived benefits. This
research will benefit the music therapy field by deepening our understanding of who can benefit
from therapeutic songwriting. Despite the research done on the impact of therapeutic
songwriting, there is little research that focuses on the variations of songwriting methods. By
gaining a deeper insight into what songwriting variations are used most often a better
understanding of their benefits can be achieved. This study will build upon the work of Baker (2015) and the song writing variations she identified. I am interested in the songwriting method variations that are used in clinical practice.
