Musical Process

The application and use of clinical improvisation is an important technique in medical music therapy. Through the analysis of Debussy’s ‘L’isle joyeuse’ this study aims to provide the beginnings of a new way of working within a music-centered philosophy for music therapists in medical settings. The piece is divided into eight sub-sections, offering practical suggestions for how the music can be adapted and used for specific clinical outcomes. Each analysis may be used separately to create smaller improvisations or collectively in varying combinations, to create larger improvisations. Throughout the study connections are made between musical process and clinical outcome. Due to the transparent and ever-changing environment of patient’s experiences in hospital settings, the potential for the free-flowing form of improvisation is emphasized as an important clinical technique. This paper offers a contemporary and musically scientific view of clinical improvisation in medical settings.

History Of

Savant syndrome is a rare, but extraordinary, condition in which persons with serious mental disabilities, including autistic disorder, have some ‘island of genius’ which stands in marked, incongruous contrast to overall handicap. As many as one in 10 persons with autistic disorder have such remarkable abilities in varying degrees, although savant syndrome occurs in other developmental disabilities or in other types of central nervous system injury or disease as well. Whatever the particular savant skill, it is always linked to massive memory. This paper presents a brief review of the phenomenology of savant skills, the history of the concept and implications for education and future research.
