Drawing on primary research undertaken in a special school in Belarus, this book provides fresh perspectives on supporting the optimisation of relationships between teaching staff and hard-to-reach children with complex needs through learning and experience based in musical interaction, creativity and play.
The book explores sustainable approaches to intercultural music therapy consultation research and sets out a practice-based framework to which relationships between researcher and participants, based on mutual respect and trust are central. Findings and implications are discussed from within wider debates regarding cultural diversity in negotiating collaborative partnerships in music therapy research.
Featuring case studies and practical examples, the book offers an insightful and informative resource for academics, scholars, and post-graduate students in music therapy and music education. Those working in the arts, psychological therapies, and undertaking teacher training will also benefit from this volume.
Reviews and Endorsements
At this time in particular, in which world events call upon each of us to look deeply at our experience of intercultural difference and our search for mutual learning and understanding, this book is a welcome contribution to such reflection in relation to music therapy. Its account of theoretical thinking, together with a compelling narrative of the complexities of actual research and practice, offers much to clinicians in this and other disciplines who are contemplating comparable undertakings.

Margetts has produced a powerful text grounded in an in-depth exploration of the dynamics and processes of intercultural music therapy consultation with children who have complex needs in Minsk, Belarus. The book is both pragmatic and moving. Theoretical concepts are thoroughly conveyed and superbly interwoven with detailed descriptions of practical workshop and classroom work, often told through the voices of participants. Margetts does not shy away from the complexities of the work, but is able to impressively illustrate how sensitive, respectful, collaborative approaches can support educators to develop sustainable musical connections and communication with children in their care. This accessible text is highly relevant and timely and contains clearly articulated principles that will be applicable in a wide range of settings. A highly valuable resource for music therapy and education students and professionals!
