ABSTRACT
Desde a consolidação de emissoras de rádio e TV no Pará, a mídia local propaga a ideia de uma "música paraense", título utilizado com frequência em uma série de eventos recentemente produzidos dentro e fora do estado. Ao contestar essa singularização, a presente pesquisa apresenta uma análise psicossociológica dos mecanismos que operam na inter-relação entre indústria cultural e formação de massas, utilizando como objeto privilegiado de estudo o espetáculo Terruá Pará. Visando tal intento, além do recurso à revisão bibliográfica, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental sobre parte do material impresso produzido para a terceira edição do festival. Em termos conclusivos, defende-se que o Terruá Pará, embora pautado por um discurso pretensamente racional em prol da valorização da música regional, torna-se dialeticamente promotor de irracionalidades expressas na sugestão de modos de subjetivação específicos que, desconsiderando diversidades, acabam por reduzir o seu público consumidor à qualidade de multidão abstrata
Since the consolidation of radio and TV broadcasters in Pará, local media has propagated the idea of a "Pará music," moniker often used in a series of events produced in and outside the State. By contesting such singularization, this psychosociological analysis unveils the mechanisms that mediate cultural industry and mass formation by analyzing the spectacle Terruá Pará. For this purpose, a bibliographic review was conducted, as well as a documentary research concerning part of the printed material produced for the festival's third edition. In conclusion, although Terruá Pará appears based on an allegedly rational discourse to value regional music, it dialectically promotes irrationalities expressed in specific modes of subjectivation that, disregarding diversity, reduce its consuming public to the quality of abstract crowd
Depuis la consolidation des stations de radio et télévision à l'état du Pará, les médias locaux ont diffusé l'idée d'une «musique paraense¼, expression souvent utilisée dans une série d'événements récemment produits dans cet état autant que dehors. En contestant cette singularisation, cette recherche présente une analyse psychosociologique des mécanismes agissant dans l'interrelation entre l'industrie culturelle et la formation des foules, en prenant comme objet principal d'étude le spectacle Terruá Pará. Dans ce but, outre le recours à l'étude bibliographique, on a mené une recherche documentaire sur une partie du matériel imprimé produit pour la troisième édition du festival. En conclusion, on soutient que Terruá Pará, bien que guidé par un discours prétendument rationnel en faveur de la valorisation de la musique régionale, devient dialectiquement promoteur d'irrationalités exprimées par la suggestion de modes de subjectivation spécifiques qui, en ignorant les diversités, finissent par réduire son public consommateur à une foule abstraite

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the effect of music on menopausal symptoms, sleep quality, and depression levels in menopausal women. METHODS: This randomized controlled study was carried out between August and December 2022. The study sample consisted of 61 menopausal women (intervention: 30 and control: 31). The intervention group listened to music twice a day for 5 weeks, with a total of 70 sessions. The control group received only routine care. Menopause symptoms, depression levels, and sleep quality were evaluated at the beginning and the end of the study using the Menopausal Symptoms Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. RESULTS: The post-test Menopausal Symptoms Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index scores of the menopausal women were found to be lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p=0.011, p=0.001, and p=0.006, respectively). When the pre-test and post-test mean scores were compared, the mean menopausal symptoms and depression levels decreased, and sleep quality increased significantly in the intervention group. No significant difference was observed in the control group. CONCLUSION: This study shows that music may have an effect on reducing the level of menopausal symptoms and depression levels and also increasing the sleep quality of menopausal women.

Background: Music and medicine can be used in patients with cancer as a palliative complementary therapy. It is aimed to show the effect of music therapy performed on anxiety, depression, and chemotherapy?related nausea/vomiting. Methods: A total of 62 patients with colon cancer who previously experienced grade 1 or 2 chemotherapy?related nausea and vomiting were divided into two groups as intervention and control group based on the addition of music and medicine to infusion chemotherapies and 1:1 randomized. The groups were compared in terms of the effect of music and medicine on anxiety, depression, heart rate, blood pressure, and chemotherapy?related nausea?vomiting. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 19.0. A value of P < 0.05 was found statistically significant. Results: The patients were evaluated in terms of study variables at the beginning and after the completion of a chemotherapy session. As a result, there was a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (P = 0.042), diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.44), heart rate (P = 0.046), state and trait sections of the state?trait anxiety inventory scores (P = 0.047 and P = 0.046, respectively), as well as a significant decrease in anxiety degree (P = 0.036) and a significant improvement in chemotherapy?related nausea (P = 0.021) and vomiting (P = 0.038) experience in the intervention group. However, no significant effect of music and medicine on depression was detected (P = 0.218). Conclusion: Although it has not been shown to have an effect on depression, it was concluded that music and medicine with classical music integrated into the chemotherapy session can reduce the degree of nausea/vomiting and anxiety levels.
ABSTRACT
Background: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is an unavoidable side effect that affects the quality of life (QoL) and treatment compliance in patients with cancer. While the positive effect of music therapy in many clinical settings has been published, little information is available on the relieving effect of music therapy on CINV. Aim: To evaluate the effect of music therapy on the frequency and severity of CINV in women with breast cancer. Methods: Sixty patients were equally randomized to experimental (music therapy) and control (routine care) groups. One hundred and forty-eight instrumental, relaxation, and religious records were provided to be delivered by a headphone connected to an MP3 player. The intervention consisted of five 25-minute sessions supervised by trained nurses to provide the patient抯 favorite music, volume, and timing arrangement. A 0� visual analog scale (VAS) and the 4-point Likert scale were used to measure the severity of nausea. Frequencies were also asked and recorded. The study endpoints were before, during, and after (8-hours, 16-hours, and 24-hours) chemotherapy. Results: The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the frequency and severity of CINV increased significantly over the first 24 hours after chemotherapy in both groups. The difference between music therapy and control groups was statistically significant with regard to the median of the frequency of nausea (5.92 versus 12.34), frequency of vomiting (4.55 versus 9.95), the severity of nausea (1.26 versus 3.27), and severity of vomiting (1.06 versus 2.53). Conclusion: This study supports the idea of incorporating music therapy into the healing process after chemotherapy in women with breast cancer
ABSTRACT
Background: Spirituality is recognition of a sense that there is something greater than myself. Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances physical fitness and overall health. Music is a universal language to express mind through tone and emotions. Nature is the physical world or the universe. Intelligence is the global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand one’s own emotions and emotions of others. Adversity quotient deals with ability of a person to deal with adversities in life. Aims and Objectives: The present study was designed to study the effect of different interventions on intelligence, stress and cognitive functions. Materials and Methods: The present study was performed on 144 subjects in age group of 30–39 years. Their basal level of intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional quotient (EQ), resilience score (RS), acute stress score (ASS), perceived stress score (PSS), isometric handgrip (IHG), and stroop tests was recorded. The subjects were divided into four groups of 36 each. Four groups were allotted different interventions of spirituality practices, moderate intensity physical exercise, receptive music, and engagement with nature respectively for 1 month duration. Statistical analysis: ANOVA and post hoc tests along with student t-test were used for computing the results. Results: IQ, EQ, RS, ASS, IHG, PSS, and stroop subtests yielded mixed results with four interventions at different levels of significance. Conclusion: Although every intervention had different and positive impact on parameters, overall spiritual practices exhibited better response on parameters.

ABSTRACT
La musicoterapia es el uso profesional, planificado y estructurado de la música como intervención terapéutica, con el objetivo de mejorar la salud y calidad de vida del paciente o el grupo intervenido. Esta herramienta se basa en la evidencia de efectos neuroplásticos, psicológicos y cognitivos de la música en las personas. En las últimas décadas se ha encontrado evidencia de múltiples beneficios de musicoterapia como tratamiento adyuvante en medicina, entre ellos se destacan: reducción del dolor en enfermedades crónicas, oncológicas, procedimientos quirúrgicos y trabajo de parto, disminución de síntomas depresivos y ansiosos en trastornos del ánimo y demencia, mejoría de la sincronización motora y perceptiva en enfermedad de Parkinson, entre otros. La otorrinolaringología se ha establecido, asimismo, como un nicho plausible para musicoterapia. Actualmente existen numerosas líneas de investigación que se han dedicado a generar evidencia científica en torno a musicoterapia y su utilidad en diversos campos de la especialidad; esta revisión pretende recopilar y analizar dicha evidencia. Los resultados obtenidos en los diferentes estudios sugieren, con evidencia de calidad baja a moderada, que existen beneficios significativos en la utilización de esta herramienta en el tratamiento multimodal de tinnitus, manejo del dolor y ansiedad en procedimientos médico-quirúrgicos, y en la rehabilitación de pacientes con hipoacusia e implantes cocleares. Si bien se ha encontrado que la música es una modalidad terapéutica segura, barata y con beneficios que parecen ser prometedores, se requieren más estudios clínicos de buena calidad y validez para recomendar el uso de musicoterapia en otorrinolaringología.
Music therapy is the professional, planned, and structured use of music as a therapeutic intervention, with the objective of improving the health and quality of life of the patient or the intervened group. This tool is based on the evidence of neuroplastic, psychological and cognitive effects of music in people. In the last decades there has been evidence of multiple benefits of music therapy as an adjuvant treatment in medicine, among them: reduction of pain in chronic diseases, oncology, surgical procedures and labor, reduction of depressive and anxious symptoms in mood disorders and dementia, improvement of motor and perceptual synchronization in Parkinson's disease, among others. Otorhinolaryngology has also been established as a plausible niche for music therapy. Currently there are numerous research lines that have been devoted to generate scientific evidence on music therapy and its usefulness in various fields of the specialty, this review aims to compile and analyze such evidence. The results obtained in the different studies suggest, with low to moderate quality evidence, that there are significant benefits in the use of this tool in the multimodal treatment of tinnitus, pain and anxiety management in medical-surgical procedures, and in the rehabilitation of patients with hypoacusis and cochlear implants. Even though music has been found to be a safe and inexpensive therapeutic modality with benefits that appear to be promising, more clinical studies of good quality and validity are required to recommend the use of music therapy in otorhinolaryngology.

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever o desenvolvimento e a validação de um teste de percepção musical, denominado BATUTA, destinado a avaliar a percepção musical de pessoas com deficiência auditiva, usuárias de aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual (AASI). O BATUTA é um teste computadorizado composto por 35 subtestes divididos nos módulos ritmo, pitch e timbre para os quais os participantes devem responder se as amostras sonoras e/ou os trechos musicais apresentados, aos pares, são iguais ou diferentes. Método O processo de construção do BATUTA foi composto por quatro etapas: desenvolvimento do teste, submissão da versão inicial ao comitê de especialistas para validação de conteúdo; aplicação do piloto em 51 participantes com audição normal e reteste para validação da confiabilidade, fundamentadas em reconhecidas recomendações para elaboração e validação de instrumentos de avaliação. Diretrizes relacionadas à natureza das amostras sonoras utilizadas, aos atributos musicais avaliados, ao ambiente de testagem e ao tipo de resposta indicada para a finalidade do BATUTA foram amplamente investigadas, com o propósito de lhe conferir fidedignidade. Resultados Os índices de Validação de Conteúdo (IVC) e de concordância entre os especialistas, quando analisados juntamente com as recomendações do comitê, resultaram em correções e em novas gravações dos áudios para garantir o cumprimento do teste. Os escores da aplicação do teste piloto indicaram boa consistência interna e o reteste confirmou a confiabilidade do BATUTA. Conclusão Os resultados demonstraram a viabilidade do BATUTA para avaliar a percepção musical de pessoas com deficiência auditiva usuárias de AASI.
ABSTRACT Purpose To describe the development and validation of a test, called BATUTA, that assesses the musical perception of people with hearing impairment that are hearing aid (HA) users. BATUTA is a computerized test with 35 subtests, divided into the rhythm, pitch, and timbre modules, and the participants must answer whether the sound samples and/or parts of the songs, presented in pairs, are the same or not. Methods The BATUTA creation process consisted of four stages: test development, submission to the expert committee for content validation; pilot application with 51 normal hearing participants and retest to validate reliability. The process was based on several recommendations for the development and validation of musical assessment instruments. A deep investigation of the guidelines related to sound samples used, musical attributes evaluated, testing environment and the most appropriate response method was undertaken to ensure dependability. Results The Content Validity Index (CVI) and expert agreement rates, when analyzed with the committee's recommendations, resulted in corrections and new audio recordings to ensure compliance to the test. The pilot test scores indicated internal consistency and the retest confirmed the reliability of BATUTA. Conclusion The results demonstrated the viability of BATUTA to assess the musical perception of people with hearing impairment that are HA users.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction Dance is a combination of strength and beauty. Improving the expression of body movements in dance can improve the artistic quality of the performers and provide a greater visual experience to its spectators. Objective Explore the influence of music on dancers' upper limb movement expression through kinematic analysis based on movement mechanics. Methods The factors influencing the expression of body movements and sports training in the dance process were investigated via a questionnaire. A group of 20 volunteers performed a movement performance only through a specific rhythm, while the experimental group combined the full music with the dance moves. After a set of four dance movements, the completion time, trajectory length, speed, and acceleration of the upper limbs were recorded and rated, analyzing the fluency of the two movement groups. Results Dance movement does not interfere as much with the rhythmic control of professional dancers; however, it impacts their fluency, range, and motion. Conclusion With the cooperation of music, the dancers' movements were more harmonious and smoother, bringing a better expressive effect to the upper limbs. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with music biofeedback on insomnia.Methods:Sixty patients with insomnia who received treatment in Outpatient Department of Seventh People's Hospital of Dongyang from January to August 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group ( n = 30) and a control group ( n = 30) using the random number table. The control group was given music biofeedback therapy and conventional drug treatment, and the observation group was treated with rTMS based on music biofeedback therapy. The changes in polysomnography sleep structure and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score after 1 month of treatment relative to before treatment were determined in each group. Results:After 1 month of treatment, the total sleep time, sleep efficiency, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM sleep phase II (N2%) and non-REM sleep phase III (N3%) in the observation group were (419.87 ± 42.63) minutes, (83.69 ± 13.39)%, (25.27 ± 3.26)%, (53.75 ± 11.36)% and (16.27 ± 2.25)%, respectively, and they were (388.74 ± 40.39) minutes, (76.38 ± 13.17)%, (23.16 ± 2.68)%, (51.62 ± 12.27)%, and (14.36 ± 2.21)%, respectively. There were significant differences in these indices between the two groups ( t = -2.90, -2.13, -2.22, -2.26, -3.31, P = 0.005, 0.037, 0.030, 0.027, 0.002). The sleep latency, actual wake time, numbet of awakenings, non-REM sleep phase I (N1%), and total score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in the observation group were (24.16 ± 7.82) minutes, (23.18 ± 6.95) minutes, (1.76 ± 0.28) times, (9.74 ± 2.12)%, (9.17 ± 1.56) minutes, respectively. They were (28.35 ± 7.74) minutes, (28.36 ± 7.21) minutes, (2.25 ± 0.79) times, (11.12 ± 1.17)%, and (10.26 ± 1.42) minutes, respectively in the control group. There were significant differences in these indices between the two groups ( t = 2.09, 2.83, 3.20, 3.12, 2.83, P = 0.041, 0.006, 0.002, 0.003, 0.038).

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of five-element music therapy in the treatment of bipolar disorder.Methods:Eighty patients with bipolar disorder admitted to Shandong Mental Health Center from January 2018 to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group ( n = 40/group). The control group was treated with conventional drug treatment. The study group was treated with five-element music therapy based on conventional drug treatment. Before, during and after treatment, mania and depression were evaluated. Symptom self-evaluation scale and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire were completed to evaluate the curative effect. Patients were followed up by telephone call. Recurrence at 3, 6 and 12 months was recorded. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the scores of the Bech-Rafaelsen Mania Rating Scale (BRMs), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) between the two groups (all P > 0.05). During and after treatment, BRMs, HAMD, Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire, and SCL-90 scores were significantly decreased in each group compared with before treatment [Control group: BRMs score during and after treatment: (11.52 ± 1.57) points, (9.43 ± 1.05) points; HAMD score during and after treatment: (16.75 ± 3.05) points, (13.61 ± 2.51) points; Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire: emotional vocabulary (67.25 ± 5.7) points, (56.38 ± 4.97) points, physical symptoms (29.52 ± 3.94) points, (24.19 ± 3.05) points, SCL-90 score: (100.52 ± 10.26) points, (68.85 ± 7.33) points. Study group: BRMs score during and after treatment: (9.33 ± 1.09) points, (7.85 ± 0.82) points; HAMD score: (13.74 ± 2.54) points, (10.17 ± 1.97) points; Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire: emotional vocabulary: (58.19 ± 5.06) points, (46.85 ± 4.06) points, physical symptoms (25.14 ± 3.54) points, (20.11 ± 2.57) points; SCL-90 scores: (90.85 ± 8.97) points, (56.87 ± 5.81) points]. During and after treatment, scores of BRMs, HAMD, Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire and SCL-90 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 3.77, 7.01, 4.48, 6.99, 8.78, 4.89, 6.05, 4.19, 7.57, all P < 0.05). Total response rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (90.0% vs. 72.5%, χ2 = 4.02, P < 0.05). At 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, recurrence rate in the study group was 2.5%, 15.0% and 30.0%, respectively, which were significantly lower than 17.5%, 35.0%, and 52.5% in the control group ( χ2 = 5.00, 4.26, 4.17, all P < 0.05).

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of music therapy on cognitive function, motor function, and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment. MethodsFrom December, 2020 to July, 2022, 48 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 24) and experimental group (n = 24). Both groups received conventional medication, nursing, and conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group received music therapy additionally, for eight weeks. Before and after intervention, the cognitive function was assessed by Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), and motor function and ADL were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), respectively. ResultsSix cases in the control group dropped down. The increase in the scores of LOTCA and FMA was more in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.665, P < 0.05), however, no significant difference was found in the increase of MBI score between two groups. ConclusionMusic therapy could improve the cognitive function and motor function of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo apply International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) to systematically analyze the functional characteristics of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in special education schools, and develop a theoretical framework and methodology for music education that suits the students' functional profiles. MethodsUsing the ICF's functional classification approach, the study focused on children with IDD in special education schools. It conducted a systematic analysis of the special music curriculum and students' learning behaviors from three levels: body functions, activity and participation, and environmental factors. The study then constructed function-oriented, adapted and inclusive principles, core curriculum content, and an education and evaluation system for music education.ResultsThe main functional characteristics of children with IDD were at three levels: at the body function level, students may experience impairments in Global psychosocial functions (b122), psychomotor functions (b147), energy and drive functions (b130), high-level cognitive functions (b164), attention functions (b140), control of voluntary movement functions (b760), and involuntary movement functions (b765), among others; at the music-related activity and participation level, students may experience impairments in play (d9200), sports (d9201), arts and culture (d9202), social activities (d9205), and other specified or unspecified changes in maintaining body posture (d429); at environmental factors level, there may be influenced on products and technology for education (e130), natural environment and human-made changes to the environment, unspecified (e299), immediate family (e310), friends (e320), other professionals (e360), attitudes (e4), and educational and training services, systems and policies (e585). In music teaching activities, child-centered principles were established, advocating function-oriented inclusive music education activities. The study used the ICF's method to construct music curriculum objectives and conduct function-oriented music learning activities. These activities included welcoming and warm-up activities, music appreciation activities, singing and learning songs, combining music with dance activities, music composition activities, as well as exploring instrument playing, choir, and ensemble activities for higher grades. By using the ICF's three functional levels, a comprehensive functional assessment and music learning needs assessment can be conducted for students. Based on the assessment results, a function-oriented adaptive music education program can be developed, including: setting adapted music learning objectives and developing corresponding teaching strategies based on the analysis of students' functional characteristics; establishing accessible music education environments considering the impact of the students' environment on their music participation, and providing supportive and accessible music education environments within the family and school settings; developing and implementing function-oriented music education based on the analysis and evaluation of students' music activity needs and functional characteristics, providing inclusive or individualized music education practices, and offering opportunities for special needs students to enjoy music learning activities and social interactions. By applying the ICF to the assessment of music education for students, a function-oriented music learning assessment system can be established, including diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments of music learning.ConclusionThis study systematically analyzed the functional characteristics of IDD children in special education schools based on the ICF's three levels of body function, activity and participation, and environmental factors. It constructed a function-oriented, adapted and inclusive theoretical framework, and core curriculum content for music education in special education schools. Using the ICF, the study established function-oriented music education objectives, set up accessible music education environments, developed and implemented function-oriented, adapted and inclusive music education curricula, and conducted student music learning assessments.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of hand controlled rhythm music therapy on unilateral spatial neglect for stroke patients. MethodsFrom September, 2020 to September, 2022, 52 patients with unilateral spatial neglect after stroke in Wuxi Central Rehabilitation Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 26) and observation group (n = 26). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, and the observation group accepted hand controlled rhythm music therapy in addition, for eight weeks. Before and after treatment, the patients were assessed with Chinese Behavioral Inattention Test-Hong Kong version (CBIT-HK) routine tests (line crossing, letter cancellation, star cancellation, line bisection, figure and shape copying, and representational drawing) and modified Barthel Index (MBI). ResultsAfter treatment, six scores of CBIT-HK routine tests and the scores of MBI increased in both groups (|t| > 3.077, P < 0.05), and they were higher in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.639, P < 0.05). ConclusionHand controlled rhythm music therapy could effectively alleviate the symptoms of unilateral spatial neglect after stroke, and improve the activities of daily living.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo construct a special music education goal framework with functional orientation and behavioral integration. MethodsUtilizing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) theory and the Hauenstein educational objectives taxnomony, and by analyzing the core content of the China Special Education School Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2016 edition), objectives for special music education were constructed. A method is established based on the ICF and the functional characteristics of special-needs children to adjust the objectives of special music education. ResultsThe framework system of special music education goals should follow the principles of functional orientation, adaptability and inclusiveness. The framework mainly composed of the goals of cognitive domain, psycho-motor domain, emotional domain and behavioral field, and the goals of each domain could be divided into five levels according to the level of development and achievement. The cognitive domain mainly focused on feeling and appreciation, which made a foundation for music learning. The psychomotor domain developed the movements, skills and related abilities of musical performance. The emotional domain focused on the impact of special music education on behaviors in terms of emotions, values, and beliefs. The behavioral domain was the synthesization of the cognitive, emotional and psychomotor domains, to enable students to use musical elements and skills to create musical works and performance. The music education objectives should be adjusted according to students' functional and developmental levels and special music learning needs. For the cognitive domain, visual support, simplification and repetition might be useful. For the psychomotor domain, visual aids, multisensory experiences and supportive technological equipment might be needed. For the emotional domain, scenario simulation, role play and music environment setting could be used to promote the connection among music and the individual and the world. For the behavioral domain, creating an inclusive environment, affirming and encouraging, and providing opportunities for creative expression might help the students apply the musical elements and techniques. ConclusionBased on the ICF theory and the Hauenstein educational objectives taxnomony theory, and referencing the China Special Education School Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2016 edition), this study constructed an educational objectives framework for special music. Principles for building functionally oriented, adaptive, and inclusive music education were proposed, as well as a systematic method for adjusting the objectives of special music education.
ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Musical-based education has been linked with improved students’ academic performance and mental wellbeing. This study aimed to evaluate a musical-based anatomy learning module using the combination of music, choreographed movements and 3D anatomy illustrations on muscles of the hand. Methods: A 5-minute duration video on muscles of the hand was developed through series of discussions with expert panels to incorporate the three stated components, emphasizing on the use of catchy music and simple terms to assist memorization skills. A single arm quasi-experimental pilot study was conducted with pre- and post-intervention measurement of knowledge, perception, stress and happy index related to learning anatomy. A total of 157 medical students were recruited and exposed to a total of 20 minutes video duration over three days. The effectiveness of the intervention was investigated using paired t-test and was interpreted based on the pre- and post-measured exposure mean differences. Results: The newly developed musical-based anatomy learning module had effectively improved knowledge and happy index related to learning anatomy, with significant mean differences were observed on the total mean scores for knowledge (MD= 2.707, p< 0.001) and happy index (MD=3.256, p< 0.001), as well as significant reduction of the mean scores for the negative items for perceptions and stress. Conclusion: The improved knowledge and happy index related to learning anatomy reflecting the positive impact of music used in combination choreographed movements and 3D illustrations to strengthen memorizing skills of medical students as well as instilling positive mood.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe any effect of combining music exercise with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the motor control, balance and cognition of persons with Parkinson′s disease (PD).Methods:A total of 120 PD patients were randomly divided into a control group, a music exercise group, a tDCS group and a combined group, each of 30. All received routine rehabilitation training, while the music exercise, tDCS and combined groups were additionally provided with music exercise therapy, tDCS treatment or both, respectively. Version three of the unified Parkinson′s disease scale (UPDRSIII), a 10m reentry movement test, the Berg balance scale (BBS), the Activity Balance Confidence scale (ABC) and Montreal cognitive assessments were applied before and after 4 weeks of the treatments.Results:After the treatment, the average UPDRSIII score and 10m reentry movement time of the music exercise group were significantly lower than in the control group, while the average BBS and ABC scores were significantly higher than the control group′s averages. The tDCS group′s average MoCA scores on all of the items and its total score were significantly higher than those of the music exercise and control groups. The average UPDRSIII score and 10m reentry movement time of the combined group were the lowest after the treatment, and that group′s average BBS, ABC, MoCA and total scores were the highest, significantly better than the other three groups.Conclusion:Combining music exercise training with tDCS can effectively improve the motor functioning, balance and cognition of persons with PD.
