About this exposition

Name of student : Natalia Alvarez-Arenas Main Subject : Classical percussion Research coach : Renee Junker, Stefan Petrovic and Arianne In’t Velt Format of documentation :Research paper Title of your research : My personal development of music-therapy (Muziektherapie) through working with children with autism Research question : How can I extend my professional-musical skills to work with and help children with autism? Summary: A professional musician has enough musical knowledge and capability to feel and transmit the music helping to improve health, mental, physical and social problems of children with autism. During the course of the research I worked for 6 months with 8 children with different syndromes of autism by giving them individual music sessions and exploring different ways to support their development through my music skills. All the lessons have been recorded. The results have been quite satisfactory. The children have improved their physical and mental communication and their focus capacities, reducing negative symptoms such as anxiety and isolation, emotional and physical control, listening, coordination and communication with others.
