Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to provide information
concerning the principles of music therapy as a discipline
as well as the state of music therapy in South Africa at
present.
In order to achieve this purpose two main areas were
studied, namely music therapy as a comprehensive world
phenomenon and more specifically the development of
organised music therapy in South Africa, the degree of
involvement of the. members of the South African organised
bodies for music therapy and the degree to which music
therapy is being applied by institutions for the
handicapped.
Research methods used were a national survey, interviews
with some of the persons involved in music therapy and
investigation of the literature. The survey of members of
the two organised bodies for South African music therapy
yielded 140 responses. Sixty-two of these respondents
are/were involved in providing music with extra-musical
aims. The survey of the institutions for the handicapped
yielded 281 responses (77,62%). 87,86% of these.
institutions are interested in receiving more information
concerning music therapy and its application.
The conclusions reached were that music therapy in South
Africa is at present only at the beginning of its
development, but that the climate for the subject area is
highly positive so that there are good prospects for the
future growth of the discipline in South Africa.
