Industry Roles
The role I have chosen
is a music therapist
What does the role entail? (A day in the life of your chosen role. This can be a case study of a real professional in this field)
A day in a life of a music therapist would be to work in a therapy clinic that can be in a prison or in an nhs setting such as a hospital or work in a private hospital or school its is a very emotionally demanding job but what you would do is meet clients of all ages maybe from the same family but also with other professionals.
you would have to asses the clients needs and plan the session for the individual so each session is different but it for each client benefit to be able to reach the goal of the session and to make them feel just ever so slightly better.
The session includes the use of a verity of musical styles and instrument but it is all led by the client or group session so one minute of the day you can be playing a happy Ballard then next a very heavy metal session it all varies which makes the job fun and always something new. you could even be helping someone with trauma or help find a new way to let out anger through healthier avenues.
regularly monitoring progress of each person and writing reports on how this is helping a client then make recommendation for this client and keep record of each client which comes into the setting.
then it is to clean and maintain the instrument's and order new if needs to be.
What are the average wages within the role?
The average salary for a music therapist is with the starting salary of £39000 and for an experienced music therapist is up to £55000 and the typical hours you would do is 37 to 40 hours but this varies and you work evening and occasionally weekends.
What skills are important for this role?
The skills which are in important for this job is counselling skills such as listening and not to be judgemental as we all have our own problems but they have come to you in confidence to help them.
To have an understanding of psychology.
To have an understanding of the fine art.
To be able to have sensitivity to a subject which can be out there and to be able to understand why.
To be able to work with other so this would be about team work.
To be able to stay calm and have patience in stressful situation.
To be able to cope with change and be flexible.
To be able to read people reactions.
To have a knowledge of technology so you can carry out basic task on a handheld device.
What qualifications and/or experience do you need for the role? (If any)
The qualifications and experiences you need to get this role is you can either go down the university route or an apprenticeship route. The first thing would be to get a postgraduate course in music therapy and register with the care professions council
You will have to have a degree in music however you might be accepted with a psychology degree and have a high skill in music but its better to have both if you can but you will need 1 or 2 years of paid or voluntary work experience in a different setting such as health, education or social care
But you must have a degree in the relevant subject for a post graduate study.
With the apprenticeship you could do an art therapist level 7 degree apprenticeship
you will need qualification or experience in art, drama or music to apply and again a degree in the relevant subject.
What routes can you take to gain employment in this role?
With experience from the last question the ways you can go down to get employed it to
1. become self employed and build your own practice but in my point of view if you want to go down this route its best to start with the apprenticeship as your learning on the job then as least you have experience.
2. teaching music therapy is another avenue
3. With experience you could become a senior music therapist and mange a team of therapist or a music therapist unit
4. or you can do music therapist research.
What organisations (If any) should you join to carry out the role successfully?
The organisation which can be joined to carry out this role is you can join the British association for music therapy. you can go down the NHS route its just all about know the right place to go
an introduction to music therapy
how to train to become a music therapist
how to become a music therapist
professional practice
The professional practices i will be using is to work on my weakness which is learning the lyrics of by heart and to make sure I am able to write a song that work for everyone and not just myself. time management would be to make sure my band goes over all the songs over and over again and not sit and do anything as repetitive can help a lot as this will embed it in to people brains to make sure if there is a bit that we are stuck we can get right so when it come to performing there no space for error.
health and safety measure to go round before rehearsal check all the wire are in good condition to check all the amp are properly spaced out so there is not chance of short circuiting or trip hazard and to make sure all the band members have ear protectors in. when people audiences are paying money they want a good show and to have fun but also have a lot of professional with is it to always be safe on stage and to not mess about as this can cause danger. to be professional all the time.
