Abstract or Description

This poster will examine why ethnomusicological research methodologies are relevant to music therapy, practice, research and education. This approach is different to Culture-Centred/ Community Music Therapy because it embraces:
1.Non-Western definitions/ models of wellbeing and ‘music’ (sometimes including movement)
2.Culturally appropriate research methodologies (eg. interviews are not always appropriate)
3.Practices use culturally appropriate/ context specific musics based on non-Western (uses of) music to promote wellbeing.
4.Practices which do not stereotype or essentialise the cultural groups seeking to improve wellbeing.
