Este artículo presenta un proyecto de innovación titulado La práctica de la Musicoterapia: una propuesta educativa de atención a la diversidad del alumnado en Educación Infantil y Primaria realizado en el colegio público de Educación Infantil y Primaria Juan XXIII de Zaragoza (España) entre los años 2012-2017 en el que participaron 32 alumnos. Se describe la estructura y se presentan resultados, destacando cómo la Musicoterapia complementa la labor docente y contribuye a la construcción de prácticas educativas interdisciplinares y proactivas que avalan su inclusión en contextos educativos.
(1) Background: Throughout their career, music therapists make decisions regarding the clinical population they choose to work with. Though such decisions can have broad implications on the professional development of the music therapist, not much is known about the reasons for making these decisions and whether they are affected by demographic or professional factors. (2) Methods: In this pilot study, we surveyed 439 music therapists from six countries (i.e., Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Spain, and Switzerland) using an online questionnaire. We asked the respondents to explain why they chose to work with their main clienteles, and we examined whether their reasons were connected to demographic factors such as country of origin, gender, and seniority, and professional factors such as experience as a music therapist and population one works with. (3) Results: The category analysis of these responses pointed at nine distinct reasons that could be grouped into “practical reasons”, “reasons of connection”, and “innovation”. There were differences in reasoning between music therapists from different countries, and with different degrees of seniority, but not between male and female music therapists. (4) Discussion: The implications on training programs and on policy makers are discussed as well as the importance of this subject to the development of music therapists’ professional identity.
