Neurologic Music TherapyThe therapeutic application of music to cognitive, sensory,
and motor dysfunction due to neurologic disease of the
human nervous system.
Rhythm, Music, and the Brain: Scientific Foundations and Clinical
Applications (Thaut, 2005)
Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy (Thaut and Hoemberg, 2014)
Neurologic Music Therapy❖ Based on a neuroscience model of music perception and
production.
❖ Considers the influence of music on non-musical brain
function and behavior.
❖ Focuses on rehabilitative, developmental and/or adaptive
goals.
Neurologic Music TherapyUtilizes a research-based system of standardized clinical
techniques in the areas of:
❖ Sensorimotor Training
❖ Speech & Language Training
❖ Cognition Training
Neurologic Music Therapy:Optimizing Neuropathways
Working Mechanisms of MusicRhythmic Stimulation and Entrainment
- Provides timing through predictability, immediate effect; can be used for
training long-term change.
● Rhythm is perceived subcortically and bilaterally
● Rhythm acts as a priming mechanism for the motor system,
impacting timing, fluency, output
● No training period -Change occurs within 3-4 beats
● Cortical Focus can impede impact
(Ex: Heels, Dance Class)
Working Mechanisms of MusicPatterned Information Processing
- Facilitates cognitive processing, enhanced learning, memory, executive
functioning.
● Temporal templates: processing space and time
● Rhythm provides time information across the duration of time
period/movement, not just at the endpoints.
(Ex: ABCs)
Working Mechanisms of MusicDifferential Neurologic Processing
- Activates parallel or shared neural pathways
● Music is not cortically distinct, but rather shares cortical networks
activated in similar non-musical tasks
● PET studies: music activates many areas of the brain
○ “It is now known that music listening, performing, and composing engage
regions throughout the brain, bilaterally, and in the cortex, neurocortex,
paleo-, and neocerebellum (Levitin & Triovolas, 2009)
(Ex: Gabby G., Stroke, Autism Slide)
Working Mechanisms of MusicAffective-Aesthetic Response: Arousal, Motivation, Emotion
- Effects on arousal, motivation, and emotion which effects learning and
behavior
● The motor system is physiologically very sensitive to arousal by the
auditory system
● Arousal and cognitive processing are primary to effectively
processing emotion
(Ex: Cleaning vs. Sleeping, Response to Tempo Change)
Key Components to Keep in Mind❖ Optimization and Efficiency
❖ Immediate Change rather than through a gradual learning
process
❖ Drives Cortical Plasticity, effectively changing the brain
that is engaged in music (Thaut & McIntosh, 2010)
PlasticityNeuroplasticity: also known as cortical re-mapping,
refers to the ability of the human brain to change as a
result of one’s experience, that the brain is ‘plastic’ and
‘malleable.”
From ‘Train you mind, change your brain’ Sharon Begley
“The Brain that engages in music is changes by engaging in music.”
(Thaut, 2005)
Impacts of Trauma on Self-Regulation/Emotional Regulation● Difficulty with:
○ Inhibition
○ Self-Regulation
○ Emotional Regulation, Stability
○ Body Image
○ Boundaries
○ Somatization
Auditory Perception Training (APT) ● “...focuses on auditory perception and sensory integration…. APT integrates
different sensory modalities (visual, tactile, and kinesthetic) during active musical
exercises such as playing from symbolic or graphic notation using tactile sound
transmission or integrating movement and music…” (Thaut, 2005)
● Participant Experiential
Impacts of Trauma on Executive Functioning● Difficulty with:
○ Planning
○ Decision Making
○ Problem Solving
○ Abstract Reasoning
Musical Executive Function Training (MEFT)● “...exercises presented individually or in groups to practice executive functioning
skills such as organization, problem solving, decision making, reasoning, and
comprehension.” (Thaut, 2005)
● Participant Experiential
Impacts of Trauma on Psychosocial Health● Social Isolation
● Difficulty Labeling & Expressing Feelings
● Difficulty Attuning to Others
● Low Self Esteem
Music in Psychosocial Training and Counseling (MPC)● Uses musical performance, guided music listening, musical role playing, and
expressive improvisation or composition exercises to address issues of mood
control, affective expression, cognitive coherence, reality orientation, and
appropriate social interaction to facilitate psychosocial functions. (Thaut, 2005)
● Participant Experiential
Final Thoughts and Opportunities● Increase Your Own Awareness of Music/Rhythm Around You and Its Impact
● Explore and Discern the use of Live vs. Recorded Music, Benefits and Limitations
● Seek Out NMT as a Treatment for Complex Trauma When Needed
○ NMTs effectively participate as members of an interdisciplinary team
○ Treatment can be provided individually or within a group process
○ Funding sources include: Private Pay, Insurance, Medicaid, Medicare/Part B
