Steering a Path through Change: Observations on the Process of Training

Abstract

There are very few papers or articles that focus upon either learning and teaching, or student change, in the music therapy training experience. This paper considers the process of change during training. The student perspective is considered by using quotations from trainee music therapists. These quotations have been gathered over several years through small research projects studying learning and teaching. These quotations from students will be used to illustrate the author's thoughts about change and the process of training. Theories of learning and teaching are used to further illuminate the author's conceptualisation of student training.

The author would like to thank those students who completed questionnaires.
