In the last Tuesday class, we had a quest, Dr. Diane Austin who has pioneered the development of Vocal Psychotherapy. She introduced that music therapy, specially vocal therapy, which has extended the use of improvisation as a diagnostic and treatment process. With her, all classmates, including me, expressed name in free vocal sound. Before trying it, I was so nervous that I did hesitate it. However, I tried to concentrate on making sound using my name and it was okay! It was explored improvisation and allowed me to have self-confidence.
Next trying was vocal and movement improvisation. I and other fellow students observed each other, made eye contacts, imitated movements, and then expressed themselves. The transposition of sound and movements were very fun and interesting. I didn't have any fear. Rather, I loved it which offered precious moments to have musical connection with my consciousness.
Through this experience, I was sure that the practices of vocal improvisation have tremendous import for music education. It can be attractive educational method for every level of the music learners. It can offer an cultivated place for well-rounded musicianship. Furthermore, this can be effectively achieved by a student-centered approach and healthy group dynamics that support natural collaboration.
Below is her website. Let's explore more!
