Autism is a serious and widespread developmental disorder in children. With the increase of autistic children every year, it is necessary to study a set of effective music therapy activities that can penetrate into life to help autistic children’s rehabilitation training. This paper aims to study the behavioral training of high-functioning autistic children with music therapy intervention under intelligent health monitoring. The autistic children were selected and divided into experimental group and control group. According to the psychological and physiological characteristics of five autistic children aged 5-7 years in the experimental group, the music therapy activity plan was designed, and the experimental intervention was carried out by combining individual music therapy and group music therapy. Compared with the control group, this paper explores the effect of music on the treatment of children with autism. The experimental results of this paper show that the language, social, cognitive, and behavioral problems of autistic children under music therapy under intelligent health monitoring have been significantly improved, and their emotional response ability has improved the most, increasing by 34%. Communication ability was next, increased by 20.3%; motor coordination ability increased by 20%; and cognitive ability improved by 11%. It can be explained that the four aspects of language, social interaction, cognition, and behavior have been significantly improved after music therapy.

“…Historically, music has held many contrasting roles in places of incarceration. It has been associated with counterculture and resistance, it has been employed for its perceived edifying virtues and it has been valued as an arena for social learning and transferrable skills (Coutinho et al, 2015a; Harbert, 2010; Hesmondhalgh, 2013; Vest, 2020). Also, as is increasingly documented, music has been employed as an instrument of power, discipline, incarceration and torture (Cusick, 2008; Digard and Liebling, 2012; Grant, 2013; Mangaoang, 2013; Waller, 2018).…”

Despite the strong relationships evidenced between music and identity little research exists into the significance of music in prisoners’ shifting sense of identity. This article explores musicking as part of the ongoing identity work of prisoners in light of theory on musical performance, narrative and desistance and discusses implications for penal practice and research. Through the presentation of an ethnographic study of music therapy in a low security Norwegian prison we show how participation in music activities afforded congruence between the past, the present and the projected future for participants by way of their unfolding musical life stories. Complementing existing conceptualisations of music as an agent for change, our study suggests that musicking afforded the maintenance of a coherent sense of self for participating prison inmates, whilst offering opportunities for noncoercive personal development. We argue that research into musicking in prison offers fruitful ways of tracing how the complexities inherent in processes of change are enacted in everyday prison life, and that it can advance our knowledge of relationships between culture, penal practice and desistance.

“…Two music-based projects in Aotearoa New Zealand prisons have provided significant support to offenders. The Singing With Conviction Pilot Project (SWCPP) programme was implemented in several of the Aotearoa New Zealand prisons between 2004-2005(Menning, 2010. It was modeled in part on a South African competitive prison singing group competition, however, given the distinct cultural aspects of Aotearoa New Zealand, adaptations were made to suit the local cultural context.…”

<p>This study aimed to explore how the use of music therapy can support prisoners in a specialist treatment unit at a prison in Aotearoa New Zealand. The research was initially designed using action research methodology to evaluate how I, a music therapy student, can support men at a special treatment unit in a prison setting in Aotearoa New Zealand. Seven weeks into my placement a rapidly escalating response to the Covid-19 global pandemic put my placement on hold indefinitely. In response to the challenges of not being able to attend placement, the research framework was changed to exploratory research. My question evolved into a theoretical exploratory study seeking to find out how music therapy can provide support in prisons. Documentation of music therapy is scarce in the New Zealand context; thus, the exploration was guided by a broad international literature search. Thematic analysis was used to develop themes about the reviewed literature and from reflective data identified in my clinical journal. The findings provide a broad scope of understanding of how music therapy is used in prisons and three main themes were identified in the analysis. These were: the ecologies of music in prisons, practicing self-care, and awareness of theory in developing specific aims and goals. The results show that music can support prison populations in various ways depending on which context takes place; from an musicological viewpoint music facilitates the expression of cultural spheres, whereas from a medical standpoint, therapeutic approaches to music therapy provide effective rehabilitation and treatment for psychological ailments. Ample theoretical, clinical, and cultural preparation should be taken into account by therapists before embarking on any work into the prison environment.</p>
