%0 Journal Article %T Personal Reflections on working as a Music Therapist, Music Therapy Groups and Music Making %A Becky White %J Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy %D 2012 %I University of Bergen. Antioch University %X This paper explores how studying clinical work can be a rich experience and lead to personal and musical development. In this paper I describe completing a master¡¯s project on group work for children who have autism. This paper describes how analysing a group in detail (using music and video coding analysis) and reading literature on music therapy and group work, led to a personal prompting to reflect on my own musical experiences and identity and to develop more as a musician. It explores how the roles of music therapist, student and musician can influence each other an be blurred together, and how I experienced cross-over in my personal and musical life. %K groups %K autism %K music therapy %U https://normt.uib.no/index.php/voices/article/view/666
