Exploring the lived experiences of teenagers in a children’s home participating in a choir: A community music therapy perspective
This study explored the lived experiences of teenagers in a children’s home who participated in a choir that was facilitated from a community music therapy perspective in Pretoria, South Africa. Sixteen weekly choir sessions were held. These included a variety of interactive vocal techniques. A performance marked the end of the process, where songs selected by the teenagers were performed.

The usefulness of aggression as explored by becoming-teenagers in group music therapy
Introduction: Music therapy literature infrequently acknowledges the adaptive functions of aggression for teenagers. This article uses the thinking tools of Deleuze and Guattari to examine how “becoming-teenagers” at a school in Eersterust, South Africa used group music therapy to explore the ways they use aggression. The term “becoming-teenagers” highlights continuous transformation, rather than static identity.Method: The author conducted rhizo…
A dance of ambiguous constructions: White South African transracial adoptive and foster mothers’ discourses on race
‘Transracial’ adoption and fostering offer fertile ground for exploring how constructions of race can operate. This qualitative study engaged in a discourse analysis of interviews with 17 South African mothers identifying as White who have adopted and who foster transracially. Focus was placed on how they talk about race through their discussions of mothering. Findings highlight how race is constructed largely in an ambivalent manner and how aver…
Musical Elicitation Methods: Insights From a Study With Becoming-Adolescents Referred to Group Music Therapy for Aggression
Music is an underutilized resource for research in the social sciences. This article presents examples of musical elicitation methods that were used within a study that explored how adolescents who were referred to group music therapy for aggression produced meanings of aggression through the therapeutic process. The study was conducted within a poststructuralist paradigm, particularly using the theoretical thinking tools of Deleuze and Gergen. T…
Awakening Musical Facilitators: An Innovative Creative Arts Training Programme for Community Health Workers and Community Health Volunteers
This report documents a music-centred training programme for community health workers (CHWs) and untrained community health volunteers in South Africa. The five-day programme is run not only to provide CHWs and volunteers with enriching musical experiences but, most importantly, to enhance their capacity to facilitate musical interactions with those they serve, thus supporting and supplementing their skill set. The pedagogical foundation of the c…
Awakening musical facilitators: A Creative Music-Centered Training Program for Community Healthcare Workers
Introduction: As registered music therapists in South Africa, we have developed a training program to equip community healthcare workers to utilize the arts in their work. Music affords potential in counselling due to its creative and communicative nature, possibilities for expressing the full range of human emotions, its projective qualities, opportunities it offers to re-compose meanings, and the way in which people engage with it in a holistic…
Music and HIV/Aids orphans: Narratives from Community Music Therapy
This position paper situates music – and Community Music Therapy in particular – within the socio-political narratives of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa. Two narratives are selected from current thinking in two public spaces, one political and the other academic. The first is embodied in a 2004 Unicef document that explicitly sanctions the linking of music and HIV/AIDS. The document states that youth groups need to be organised to ‘use dra…
