Using Music Games to Learn About the Self and Others
摘要
The experience of collective music-making is experienced as joyful and playful, but it also offers students insightful opportunities for learning about their identity and how they are interacting with others. This chapter presents a set of low-threshold music-based activities involving collaboration and improvisation. The activities are simple for the music-layperson to facilitate and can be used by social work educators to train perception, expression, and communication. The exercises are inclusive, participatory, and primarily nonverbal and can be used to support the acquisition of social work skills such as observation, self-reflection, and negotiating meaning in co-production with others.
