ENGLISH
Training Heartbeat Music Therapy
The use of Heartbeat Music Therapy, also known as Amplified CardioPulmonary Recordings – Music Therapy (ACPR-MT), developed by Brian Schreck, can be of significant value within music therapy practice. In this intervention, the music therapist makes an audio recording of the client’s heartbeat and combines it with meaningful music, carefully aligned to the rhythm of the heart.
Within palliative care, creating a heartbeat song offers clients the opportunity to leave a personal legacy. This process can support meaning-making and life completion. For loved ones, the heartbeat song becomes an intimate and personal keepsake that may support them in coping with loss and grief.
Beyond palliative care, working with heartbeat recordings can also be highly valuable. Recording and musically processing a client’s heartbeat can contribute to experiences of autonomy, self-worth, and bodily awareness, and may be applied in a wide range of clinical and community-based settings.
Heartbeat Music Therapy is a relatively new intervention within Dutch and European music therapy practice, and awareness and demand are growing. This training offers music therapists the opportunity to learn how to apply ACPR-MT in a practical, ethical, and clinically responsible way within their own professional context.
Topics:
- What is the therapeutic value of working with heartbeat recordings and why should it be part of music therapy practice?
- How to create a qualitative amplified cardiopulmonary recording and combine this with music
- Which devices and software would suit your practice?
- How is it beneficial to take ACPR-MT to different clinical fields than hospital or palliative care?
- Safety, ethics and privacy
Practicing
During the training, participants will practice making heartbeat recordings with one another. Please wear clothing that allows easy access to the upper chest area. If this is uncomfortable or not possible for you, you may indicate this during registration; you are still very welcome to participate in the training.
What should participants bring?
Participants are encouraged to bring their own wired headphones and their own laptop or iPad (with a USB-C connection or an adapter for USB-A or USB-C). Those who wish to do so may also bring their own musical instrument. Upon registration, you will be sent a handout to read before attending the preparatory course.
