A method of analyzing improvisations in music therapy

Abstract: Music is the one ingredient that gives music therapy its unique potential and effect. yet it is the most enigmatic and elusive ingredient to empirical scrutiny, whether quantitative or qualitative methods are used. This paper will extrapolate a method of analyzing improvisations from a completed research project (Lee, 1992) and other allied publications. This method can be adapted for both research and the working clinical situation.
