Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Theatre Arts-Arts Administration.
Children and adolescents who are facing risk factors to their development and ultimate success can gain a variety of necessary social skills through participation in the creation and performance of music. Despite the existence of research supporting the positive impact that music education may have on at-risk adolescents, there is a lack of research and literature examining the possible effects of music education on adolescents who are involved in residential placements. The clients who are served in Bellefaire Jewish Children's Bureau's Intensive Treatment Unit, Cottage 10, receive comprehensive services to address their immediate safety and well being, as well as mental health, behavioral, and educational needs. Though the services provided by Bellefaire JCB are extensive, there is no music education or active music making taking place. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the services in place in the Intensive Treatment Unit, Cottage 10, as well as a proposal for a music education program for this facility. This program will provide the basis for further research to take place dealing with the possible effects of music education for adolescents in residential treatment.
