An Overview of Recent Literature regarding Music/Music Therapy for Mechanically Ventilated Patients
This presentation will explore the existing literature on the use of music and music therapy with patients who are awake and receiving mechanical ventilation. We will explore what methods have been used thus far, the outcomes, and what gaps and limitations currently exist in the literature.
Embracing Uncertainty: Music Therapists Experiences in Dementia Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic
In this study, I explored experiences of MTA’s within dementia care during the pandemic. Four common themes emerged, speaking to challenges, adaptability, self-care, and connection. The results may inform our relationships with clients experiencing dementia and how we may continually understand the roles of our profession in a changing world.
Virtual music therapy family visits for long-term care residents: Connecting during COVID-19
Individuals living with dementia in long-term care (LTC) may have difficulty communicating with loved ones via video calls. Virtual music therapy may help them connect in a creative way. A pilot project at a LTC home in Guelph, Ontario, suggests benefits related to reminiscence and connection for those involved.
Global Perspectives to Inform Culturally Humble Music Therapy Practice
Music therapy perspectives from China, India, Korea, New Zealand, Russia and South Africa will be offered to advance our global understandings of the practice of music therapy and music in healthcare. These examples will further highlight the necessity to provide culturally humble and culturally responsive music therapy services.
Music Together within therapy groups: Collaboration in Undergraduate Clinical Training and Research
The Music Together Within Therapy program offers high-quality, research-based music and support tools to address the clinical needs of clients. This presentation will offer examples about how these community and school-based groups offer clinical training opportunities for university students in various formats as well as collaborative faculty-student funded research opportunities.
Self-Actualization through Music Therapy for Older Adults at End of Life
In this presentation, a case will be made for why older adults need opportunities for self-actualization at end of life. The presenter will illustrate why music therapy is an ideal avenue through which to facilitate these opportunities.
Self-compassion-based music therapy among adults with mental health needs
Given new challenges presented in recent stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals seek new coping strategies to face daily challenges. The Oral Roberts University Music Therapy Clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma presents clinical tools and strategies to implement self-compassion-based music therapy to build resilience among adults with mental health needs.
HB Rocks: A Community Music Therapy Revolution!
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital clients and music therapists, in partnership with volunteer community musicians, have answered the call of social revolution for inclusion and diversity. After five years of high energy public concerts, HB Rocks now considers how to move forward within the CoVID-19 pandemic.
SOCOM: A social communication music therapy protocol for adults with developmental disabilities
“SOCOM” is a music therapy protocol for adults and adolescents with developmental disabilities focused on developing social communication skills given an in-person and online format. This presentation will offer therapeutic approaches, techniques, testimonials, and resources to empower this population as they embrace their neurodiversity and enter adulthood.
The Music of Breath: Foundations and Applications
In this time of Covid-19, what is the effect of facial masking on one’s breathing patterns? This query leads us to study both the foundations and applications of breath. Information from western medicine and traditional eastern breathwork practices are explored, for the benefit of the music therapist and her client(s).
I Shall Not Be Moved: Building Children with Physio and Music
As a condition of discharge from hospital, patients are required to meet certain physical goals. Children who have been admitted for lengthy stays often lose strength, endurance and even bone density. Music therapists and physiotherapists work together to meet physical goals sooner in a fun and relaxed environment.
Individual tele-music therapy with young children: The importance of the therapist-caregiver relationship
Individual music therapy with young children (preschool through early elementary school) offered through online platforms requires adult caregivers. Music therapists’ perceptions of parents/adult caregivers in the therapeutic relationship varies and may be related to the therapist’s comfort with and training in engaging the adults in the therapy process.
Considering Digital Well-Being in Music Therapy
This presentation argues the importance of addressing issues related to digital well-being in music therapy practice. Participants are invited to reflect on their own digital well-being, as well as their professional responsibility to account for the digital lives of clients in all aspect of the therapeutic process.

Singing Our Way to Awareness: Trusting the River
What happens when you allow the river to guide you? And what happens when you try to resist or try to change its direction? Over these past two years, through these historic and difficult times, we have had a chance to examine our own answers to these questions. For some, the river may have seemed as if it were raging and uncompromising, while others may have surrendered to the still, deep waters and have found an opportunity for calm reflection. How do you find ways to trust your own process?

"Sometimes I'd Rather be Eating Gelato!" The cost of caring...
The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet. (Remen, 1996) Having worked in the field of child welfare, domestic violence, palliative care and now private practice, Valerie knows first-hand the ‘Cost of Caring’. Using her ‘re-discovered’ sense of humour, Valerie will share how Compassion Fatigue snuck up on her, changed her and how she survived to tell her story.
