Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 藝術研究所 === 95 === Music is the most abstract subject in the whole artistic ambit, but it exists in human life so naturally and deeply. We can see different kinds of music types growing and changing. Now music doesn’t’ be edged out of our life but it’s one of the most important parts in our cultural as time goes by. The development of music not only goes into the ambit of pure art, but also the pop culture. It can prove that music has great power to influence human life and thought. Music therapy is a therapeutic way which tries to use many characteristics of music and combines iatrology and psychology. It not only wants to cure the illness, but also cares about the different reasons and cultures of different patients. Then it can give patients the complete therapy to solve their problems. Music therapy has been used for fifteen years in Taiwan. There is no formal thesis that is researching about the development and methods of music therapy in Taiwan until now, but so many people have done music therapy already, and that is dangerous. Cause of these reasons, I hope to write an ethnography to summarize the beginning, course problems and hope of music therapy in Taiwan. I wish it can help more people to comprehend the meaning of music therapy, and let the person who is interested in it or wants to do the research of this part know the real situation and problem of music therapy in Taiwan. I also did a questionnaire which is more than five hundreds people to finish it and put it in chapter fourth. It can reflect the culture of Taiwanese music and assuetude of Taiwanese audience; it also reflects how much the people know about music therapy and what their expectation of it is. I wish music therapy could be more and more professional and let music make people healthier in both physical and psychical parts.
