“…In this study, there seem to be several papers with a large number of participants. This was particularly evident in the Sing&Grow reports (Abad, 2007;Abad & Williams, 2006;Nicholson et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2012). Participants numbers were 850 (Nicholsson et al, 2010) and 635 families (Abad, 2007) (Kelly, 2011).…”

“…The program was funded for 2 years initially and then the funding was extended. In the findings of this review five Sing&Grow research papers were included (Abad, 2007;Abad & Williams, 2006;Nicholson et al, 2010;Nicholson et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2012) and one clinical evaluative paper (Williams & Abad, 2005). These have affected especially the analysis results of research articles.…”

Abstr Abstract actThe article examines music therapy literature from 1990 to 2012 focusing on children aged 0 to 5-years old. The literature includes clinical descriptions, research articles, chapters in books, peer reviewed electronic publications, and peer reviewed journals. Altogether 125 different texts were found which fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. Simple quantitative analysis gave guidelines for deeper, comparative qualitative analysis. According to the data the older children were more often written about than younger children. Historically the dominance from individual work has been shifting to dyadic/family work. The active methods were most commonly singing and playing with instruments. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were most strongly represented together with paediatric patients and children with developmental disabilities. Interaction between family members and the positive factors were emphasized in the articles. The importance of fun and enjoyment was underlined throughout all client groups. The results claim that more specific information of the effects of early childhood music therapy is needed. In addition, related areas of research, cross-scientific viewpoints, and common fields of interests should be taken into consideration in the future.

“…Music therapists have also reported working with at-risk families to support parent-child interaction among parents and their infants and toddlers (Abad & Williams, 2007;de l'Etoile, 2006;Jacobsen, McKinny, & Holck, 2014;Nicholoson, Berthelsen, Adad, Williams, & Bradley, 2008).…”

“…Music therapy group sessions can improve parent-child attachment while providing an opportunity to practice positive parenting skills with support from peers and the music therapist (Abad & Williams, 2007;Herbers, Cutuli, Supkoff et al, 2014;Jacobsen, McKinny, & Holck, 2014;Smith et al, 2011;Yang, 2016). According to the study participants, music therapy group sessions may also be used to help facilitate the reunification process among families who have been separated due to child protection cases.…”

Abstr Abstract actWhile music therapists have worked with families experiencing poverty, little literature exists concerning music therapy with this population. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the experiences and perspectives of board-certified music therapists who work with families experiencing poverty. Five board-certified music therapists who are currently or have previously worked in settings that primarily served families experiencing poverty participated in semi-structured interviews. Participants reviewed interview transcripts for member checking purposes and later provided feedback on emerging themes. Interviews were analyzed for emerging themes using the six phases of thematic analysis (Braun & Clark, 2006). Trustworthiness was obtained via the second author who independently reviewed transcripts and created codes and themes. Four themes regarding the use of music therapy interventions with families experiencing poverty emerged: (a) music therapy facilitates the development of parenting skills via education and interaction, (b) children and adults generalize skills from music therapy sessions to daily life, (c) awareness of the factors and unique stressors associated with poverty positively impacts the therapeutic process, and (d) music therapy compliments the broader continuum of support services to meet individual needs. Overall, participants perceived music therapy interventions to be uniquely beneficial in supporting the therapeutic needs of families experiencing poverty. Music therapists can use emerging themes to expediently develop working alliance and potentially create new positions to serve this marginalized population. Implications for practice, limitations, and suggestions for future research are provided.
