Academic literature on the topic 'Nordoff Robbins'

As Escalas Nordoff Robbins de “Relação Criança-Terapeuta na Experiência Musical Coativa” e de “Musicabilidade: Formas de Atividade, Estágios e Qualidades de Engajamento” são utilizadas como avaliação musicoterapêutica desde a década de 1960 nos EUA. No Brasil, pesquisas estão sendo realizadas para tradução, verificação da validade e utilização destas escalas. Neste estudo de revisão integrativa, verificou-se a utilização das mesmas através de revisão em bases de dados do Portal Periódicos da Capes, Google Acadêmico, Lilacs, Nordoff Robbins, ProQuest, Medline e Cochrane. Encontramos 22 estudos relacionados com a “Escala de Relação Criança-Terapeuta na Experiência Musical Coativa” e 10 estudos relacionados com a “Escala de Musicabilidade: Formas de Atividade, Estágios e Qualidades de Engajamento”. Observou-se que o número de publicação com as mesmas aumentou no decorrer dos anos, inclusive no contexto brasileiro e a utilização mais frequente compreendeu a avaliação de pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e Transtornos do Neurodesenvolvimento.

Os pesquisadores americanos Nordoff, Robbins e Marcus (2007) desenvolveram em 1964 a Escala de Comunicabilidade Musical. Utilizaram, nessa escala, instrumentos musicais, a voz e movimentos corporais para estudar em crianças os diferentes aspectos da capacidade de comunicação através da música. Objetivamos, nesta pesquisa, avaliar a tradução realizada da Escala de Comunicabilidade Musical e de seu manual explicativo para o português brasileiro. Como metodologia, realizamos 3 etapas do Modelo Universalista de Validação desenvolvido por Herdman, Fox-Hushby e Badia (1998) denominadas equivalência de itens, equivalência semântica e equivalência operacional. Participaram desse estudo 4 tradutores na etapa inicial e 10 avaliadores no processo de avaliação da tradução. Foram utilizados como instrumentos, a Escala de Comunicabilidade Musical de Nordoff Robbins e seu respectivo manual explicativo. Foi elaborada especialmente para este estudo uma Ficha para análise das Traduções e um Questionário de Análise da Equivalência de Itens, Semântica e Operacional. De acordo com a análise das respostas coletadas dos avaliadores, a tradução dessa escala apresenta linguagem compreensível, seus itens são pertinentes para o contexto brasileiro e podem contribuir para futuras pesquisas em musicoterapia e em música.

Objetivos: Facilitar la expresión emocional, contribuir a la reducción de la regresión psicológica, acompañar en el proceso de cambio de personalidad de un duelo migratorio.Método: El procedimiento se ha basado en la creación de música en vivo según el modelo Nordoff-Robbins o humanista-creativo de musicoterapia. Resultados: La creación de un espacio de confianza para la expresión y gestión emocional, eliminación de elementos jerarquizantes y empoderamiento que permite la mejora de la autoestima así como, la construcción de una nueva identidad y la dotación de herramientas para el afrontamiento de futuras dificultades. Conclusiones: Este estudio de caso único permite ver cómo el modelo de musicoterapia Nordoff-Robbins admite un trabajo de acompañamiento en la elaboración de un duelo migratorio, imprescindible para la gestión emocional y cognitiva de un desplazamiento geográfico que conlleva un cambio vital, motivado por una pérdida. Es posible gracias al papel que juega la improvisación y la creación musical en vivo, ya que sitúa como responsable al participante de la formación de su proceso, manejando su propia situación que, a su vez, facilitará la gestión en el futuro de cualquier nueva dificultad. Al mismo tiempo resulta una herramienta que deja a un lado las barreras de comunicación formadas por la distancia cultural, la lengua o experiencia dispar, al establecer una vía alternativa para ello, donde las diferencias quedan resueltas a través del oído.

The purpose of this study is to describe current practices in Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy (NRMT) practice as perceived by contemporary practitioners in 2011 compared with the original approach as developed by its founders. I did this by interviewing prominent NR music therapists in the field, and asking them how their way of practicing compared to hobelieved Nordoff and Robbins originally practiced the model. I then transcribed and analyzed their responses to the interview questions, looking for themes of commonality and difference in their responses.

This study was concerned with the effectiveness of Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy (NRMT) carried out within a Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-based (DIR®)/Floortime Framework in addressing the individual needs of children with autism. In NRMT, the child is an active participant in the music making process, playing various instruments that require no formal training. The therapist's task is to improvise music built around the child's musical responses, reactions, responses, and/or movements to engage him or her in a musical experience that will facilitate musical relatedness, communication, socialization, and awareness. The DIR® model provides a comprehensive framework for assessing, understanding, and treating the child. It centers on helping the child master the building blocks of relating, communicating, and thinking through the formulation of relationships via interactive play, using Floortime (a systematic way of working with the children to help them reach their developmental potential). This study sought to determine the effectiveness of NRMT in meeting musical goals specifically established for each individual child, and to conclude if progress in musical goals paralleled progress in non-musical (DIR®) goals.

This study shall attempt to delve into the development of the Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy. The study shall start its understanding from thefundamental concepts and attitude of music therapy, to its arrival intothe domestic scene and its applications in the fields of special education,physical therapy and medical treatment of the country. The study shall employ theoretical analysis and interviews in discovering the origin and development, theoretical foundation, practical models and clinical results of the subject matter. The study further aims to evaluate, discuss and arriveinto concrete suggestions in the hope of providing necessary references for future studies.The Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy came to birth in1959. It is a special form of therapy through music which was developed bymusician Paul Nordoff and special education educator Clive Robbins forhandicapped children. The theoretical foundation of this therapy lies inSteiner''s Anthrosophy and Maslow''s Humanistic Psychology; which propoundedthat each person, handicapped or otherwise, has an inborn musicality (referred to as the Music Child) and potentials. The significance of the therapy liesin the use of music as a tool to arouse the internal ability of the clients,in the goal of achieving self- actualization through the following three formsof personality transformation; "revitalization of the Music Child","development of the ego" and the "integration of the old and new selves". Creative Music Therapy centers treatment on the core of the clients'' being;it emphasizes more on performance rather than acceptance. During actual implementation, the therapy is divided into individual therapy and group therapy; therapy sessions are conducted by the primary therapist and co- therapist. Improvisation is the principal part of individual therapy sessions. The primary therapist would play an improvisation on the piano, occasionally stimulating and occasionally flowing, to help the clients either play an instrument or sing. The co-therapist on the other hand, provides the necessary assistance to the client. Group therapy sessions are mainly composed of organized activities such as singing, playing musical instruments, acting, body movements, dancing, etc. The primary therapist directs the entire activity of the group; the co-therapist plays the musical accompaniment needed for the activities. The session allows the clients to gradually arrive to their own objectives through interaction. However, regardless whether the type of therapy used is individual or group; all sessions are recorded, both in audio and video recording, during the entire course to allow for the objective assessment of therapy technique and for the resolution of future therapy directions. Multi-sectoral support made possible the establishmentof the "Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy Clinic" in Great Britain (1975), Australia (1984), Germany (1985) and the United States (1989).The clinics worked dedicatedly in music therapy research and promotion,as well as introduced music therapy into the treatment of pathological hospitalcases. This development contributed in bringing international music therapyinto new heights. The evaluations conducted by the author pointed out the"human angle of the therapy","the scientific nature of the therapy", and"the importance given to music culture" as the highlights of this type of therapyand considered the drawbacks to be the "Music Child as an inopportune term","lack of applicability of evaluation scales" and the "difficulty in implementingthe Two Person Team Model". Further, the study was able to come up with thefollowing fundamental concepts and attitude of music therapy:1. Music therapy can improve health conditions but can not treat illnesses completely.2. Music therapy may be used to supplement therapy teamwork.3. The expertise and the degree of experience of the music therapist play a major influence on the effectiveness of the therapy.4. Music therapy takes time, results should not be expected to come in great leaps. Finally, the author proposes the following suggestions for the development of Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy in the country:1. Adapt therapy to local culture. 2. Train music therapists.3. Establish a certification system. 4. Establish a foundation and researchinstitute for the purpose.5. Set up a medical treatment network.

Nordoff-Robbins music therapy was founded through the pioneering collaboration between Paul Nordoff (1909–1977), an accomplished composer and pianist, and Clive Robbins (1927–2011), an innovative special educator. Their partnership began in 1959 at Sunfield Children’s Homes in Worcestershire, England, and they worked together for approximately 16 years in Europe and the United States. In 1975, formal training began at the newly opened Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre in London. In the same year, Clive Robbins formed a new music therapy team with his wife Carol Robbins (1942–1996). The Robbins’ developed and disseminated the Nordoff-Robbins model, and in 1990 they established the Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Throughout its history, the clinical techniques, training methods, and research within this model have been based in close engagement with clinical work.
