Theme for report: HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

The approach to music therapy which you have been taught (i.e., a behavioral approach) and the Nordoff-Robbins approach represent two different closed systems. You have learned to devise therapeutic strategies in a manner which reflect (at least) five underlying principles:

1. In order to qualify as "therapy", there must be a positive observable change in behavior and, eventually, that change should endure beyond the end of the session.
2. Before a session begins, a music therapist must formulate at least one behavioral objective for the session.
3. Music therapy uses musical approaches, but focuses on remediation of non-music behaviors/problems.
4. Planning ahead, especially by using a task analysis, is the key to successfully accomplishing therapeutic objectives.
5. Accountable treatment theories and practices stem from a hypothetical mode of inquiry.

For each of these principles, consult the Aigen book and cite three examples (i.e., quote, then give the page and paragraph of Nordoff-Robbins "techniques, principles, theories and other abstractions" (p. 10, paragraph 2) which distinctly contrast with what you have been taught. Citations must be at least one sentence in length and may extend to one paragraph. There will be a total of twelve examples.
