Topic and Purpose Of This Project
This contextual essay accompanies my final project, which is an experiential exploratory project focused Process Work and Music. The project specifically explores how to use Process Work unfolding techniques and Music Therapy techniques within a class setting in order to discover what combinations work best to elicit previously unknown material from participants. In order to develop the project, I designed and developed a course outline for four classes that utilized both Process Work (PW) and Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) theories and techniques. I recruited participants who were willing to engage in this exploratory course and who were willing to provide feedback that would help to shape a final course outline and lesson plan. I then facilitated the series of classes with these participants, and integrated participant feedback along the way to create the final course outline and teaching guide as they appear in the addenda of this essay. The primary purpose of this project was to explore ways of using Process Work within a class setting to focus attention on the multi-channeled secondary and tertiary experiences that can be accessed through music, creativity, and group discussion. The project in its entirety includes the following elements: invitational flyers, a letter of welcome, a participant consent form, the class series, a final lesson plan for a three-hour class, suggested music selections, class exercises, unfolding techniques, feedback sheets from participants, and this contextual essay.
