“…In addition to the clinical space, respondents also reported how shifts to virtual environments impacted education, training, and supervision. Educators and supervisors reported spending ample time checking in with students and supervisees individually and in smaller groups, which corresponds to Gooding and Rushing’s findings [ 34 ]. Similar to the findings of Kern and Tague [ 33 ], students and interns reported that there were certain skill sets that were more difficult to develop in TMT, such as in the moment musicking and developing effective clinical observation skills without seeing ‘the whole picture’.…”

“…Promising new work suggests that leveraging the possibilities inherent in the functionality of telehealth interaction may lead to improved therapeutic relationships and outcomes [ 31 , 32 ]). Additionally, the representation of student [ 33 ] and educators’ [ 34 ] perspectives suggests that the increased inclusion of telehealth content in the future academic preparation of music therapists is warranted.…”

The use of telehealth within music therapy practice has increased through necessity in recent years. To contribute to the evolving evidence base, this current study on Telehealth Music Therapy (TMT) was undertaken to investigate the telehealth provision experiences of music therapists internationally. Participants completed an anonymous online cross-sectional survey covering demographics, clinical practice, telehealth provision, and telehealth perceptions. Descriptive and inferential statistics, in combination with thematic analysis, were used to analyze the data. A total of 572 music therapists from 29 countries experienced in providing TMT took part in this study. The results showed that the overall number of clinical hours (TMT and in-person hours combined) declined due to the pandemic. Participants also reported reduced perceived success rates in utilizing both live and pre-recorded music in TMT sessions when compared to in-person sessions. Although many music therapists rose to the challenges posed by the pandemic by incorporating TMT delivery modes, there was no clear agreement on whether TMT has more benefits than drawbacks; however, reported benefits included increased client access and caregiver involvement. Furthermore, a correlation analysis revealed moderate-to-strong positive associations between respondents who perceived TMT to have more benefits than drawbacks, proficiency at administering assessments over telehealth, and perceived likelihood of using telehealth in the future. Regarding the influence of primary theoretical orientation and work setting, respondents who selected music psychotherapy as a primary theoretical orientation had more experience providing TMT prior to the pandemic while those primarily working in private practice were most inclined to continue TMT services post-pandemic. Benefits and drawbacks are discussed and future recommendations for TMT are provided.
