Music Therapy Session Planning:
Preparation, Structure and Procedures
Dear MT-BC,
Thank you for your interest in our materials! If you use this template or a variation of our session template in your clinical practice, please email strongwaterstudios@gmail.com and let me know about your experiences. This is an ongoing project to support the development of shared, research-supported, standardized practices in our field while encouraging creative freedom in clinical approach and intervention design.
The below template was developed as a one-size-fits-all attempt to streamline planning and documentation processes between populations, institutions and job types onto a single page! Quite a challenge to get it all to fit. I have use this template (or variations of it) with the following populations; adolescents w/ behavioral emotional needs, geriatrics (groups & individuals), dementia/parkinsons, multigenerational & community music therapy, acute adult psychiatry and medical music therapy. It has been used for both private practice and clinical practice.
If you're interested in the research behind this template, here is a Link to 2018 Masters Thesis
Planning for Spontaneity: Music Therapy Session Preparation, Structure and Procedures
I am also in the process of creating templates for invoicing, progress notes and intake documentation with a long-term goal of making these materials accessible to the MTBC community. I will be presenting on this topic at the next New England Regional Conference and would love to incorporate your feedback. Please get in touch if you have thoughts/opinions/feedback, materials to contribute or if you're interested in collaborating!
Best,
Peri Strongwater, MTBC

"Information gathered from the literature review was summarized in a single table, to better understand the theoretical divisions of session structure (See Appendix A, Theoretical Model Comparison). The components of nine models were categorized into Wheeler’s (2005) three generalized sections; beginning, middle and end, labeled in the template as introduction, middle and closing."
