musicatwork gets a blog presence
Having just been to a seminar about "social media", and having successful put a page up on Wiki, I thought that blogging would be the next step in raising the profile of musicatwork, but also in engaging in debate about Arts Based Training generally. What we do is this....
“musicatwork – the sound approach to training” was formed in 2005 and delivers music therapy sessions to children and adults in a wide range of settings including schools, hospitals, prisons and residential day centres.
musicatwork also creates and delivers staff personnel development training to organisations, using elements of Play/Music Therapy, cutting-edge coaching techniques and music/musical improvisation in a highly structured way to form a unique mix.
musicatwork works with statutory bodies, private organisations, charities and individuals throughout Wales making music therapy available for all.
If you've every been sent on a team building day, you may well have done an outwards bound course/ropes course or another activity where you have been asked to building a bridge across an imaginary river and get your team across; an activity which then gets debriefed and the training happens as people see how/why they did what they did etc. Well musicatwork is very similar EXCEPT that we use a musical task/activity with our participants, which we then debrief and train from.
Tasks might be stuff like create a short piece of rhythmic music using ten instruments; or create a poem about the sunrise and put it to music...different tasks suits different training sessions.
And it all comes under the heading of Arts Based Training; which is why I wanted to start blogging, so that this blog and its links etc become a beautiful useful resource for people in the training industry, companies who want to hire Arts Based Trainers, and maybe artists who want to share their knowledge. I dunno, I guess it will grow and develop as it will.

Well done, Dan. Exactly the kind of stuff that was being talked about. And surely a unique resource.
