A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON METHODOLOGY OF MUSIC EDUCATION AND MUSIC THERAPY FOR DEMENTED SENILE

音乐作为一种治疗手段的价值在于它能够提供几乎所有医疗方法所不能提供的其他帮助。然而，音乐治疗的有用性尚未明确讨论。本研究在医生特别是精神科专家的协助下，对老年痴呆症患者进行音乐治疗，旨在检验音乐治疗的有效性，并对传统的音乐教育方法进行反思。本研究的结果如下：（1）音乐治疗在老年护理中的应用及其存在的问题和可能性：医疗中心或其他机构的音乐活动大多利用老歌来激活患者的记忆，但我们发现许多因误用音乐而造成不良影响的例子。B）音乐治疗效果的测量和评价标准：由于日本对音乐治疗师的指导和评价缺乏权威性的制度，许多音乐治疗学者和研究团体对音乐治疗师的指导和评价缺乏系统性， ...更多信息 努力建立制度。但由于没有统一的评价标准，我们发现一些音乐治疗实践仅依据文献，效果不佳。为了避免仅仅为了评估而进行音乐治疗，我们承认对音乐治疗实践进行评估和记录的必要性。c）将有关音乐治疗的讲座引入教育学院的音乐课程：通过对非音乐专业学生和医院、科研机构工作人员对音乐和音乐制作的看法的调查，发现音乐治疗中存在的一些问题公开接受。（4）前景中的音乐教育之路：从老年医疗保健和终身学习的角度出发，重新审视义务教育中的音乐教育。我们认为音乐教育的方法论应该从根本上进行重构，重新审视那些倾向于形成（或灌输）狭隘音乐观和音乐概念的常规课程。少

The value of music as a means of therapy dwells in its ability to offer other assistance than those which almost all methods of medical care do. The usefulness of music therapy, however, is not discussed explicitly as yet. In this study, with the assistance of doctors, especially mental specialists, we practiced music therapy for demented senile for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of music therapy as well as reconsidering traditional methodology of music education. The results obtaind are as follows ;a) the treatment of music in senile care and its problem and possibility : most music activities in medical centers or other institutions utilize old songs in order to activate the patients' memory, but we found many examples of bad effects caused by misuse of music.b) the measurement of effect and standard for evaluation of music therapy : as there is no authorized system to instruct and evaluate music therapists in Japan, many scholars and research groups concerning music ther … More apy make an effort to establish the system. For there is no unified criteria for evaluation, however, we found some examples of muisic therapy practice based only on literatures which have bad effects. In order to avoid practicing music therapy just for evaluation, we admit the necessity of assessment and documentatoin of music therapy practice.c) the introduction of lectures concerning music therapy into music course of the faculty of education : result of enquiry about opinions of students majoring other than music and staff at hospitals and institutions on music and music making reveals some problems to be solved in order to get music therapy accepted publicly. Most of them concern with the influence of music education at compulsory level on cencept of "music" and formation of the concept among Japanese society.d) the way of music education in prospect : considering from the viewpoint of senile medical care and life-long learning, we found a path to reexamine the music education at compulsory school. We think the methodology of music education should be reconstructed radically, with reviewing the routine curriculum which tends to form (or infuse) a narrow view on music and concept of music. Less
