Projects

By participating in the various projects, you will develop general professional skills, such as working together and organising.

ArtEZ Choir Class

All first- and second-year students in the Music in Education course sing in the choir class, together with the Music Therapy students. Each year, two projects (one classical, one pop/jazz) are organised, each time with a different theme, where the conductor can change. The projects are concluded with a public concert at an external location. During these concerts, the instrumentalists also play a solo or accompaniment.

Music Therapy Improvisation Week

Under the supervision of renowned Dutch and international guest lecturers, you will work in the area of music, dance and theatre towards a spectacular final presentation.

Music Therapy and Music in Education: joint year theme

Example of a year theme: Songlines after the book by Bruce Chatwin. In Aboriginal culture, something only comes into existence when it has been included in a song. By recording the landscape in songs, the Songlines are created.

Music therapy: Project week

Every year, the Music Therapy course organises a project week. In 2015, it was dedicated to intercultural music therapy. What influence does culture have on people, music, interaction, communication, and on clients' needs, and, most important of all, how does it impact music therapy? What is essential in music when you work with traumatised people from other cultures? During the project week, students were presented with music from different cultures. Music therapists from various backgrounds gave workshops about their experiences with people from a different background. Attention was also given to different musical styles, in order to try them out and practise them together
