Therapeutic sound technologies

Abstract

Objective: to present the fi nal work developed in the discipline Creative Processes and Entrepreneurship. Method: students should submit to the end of the discipline a technology
to assist in learning or rehabilitation of clients in treatment in the Music Therapy Clinic. To perform the fi nal work of the discipline, were formed groups of three students, in which each group should develop an adaptation or instrument as a therapeutic resource which will be used for a UFMG Music Therapy Clinic client. Results: ten trios of students created ten instruments and two adaptations. The devices have yielded three exhibitions open to the public. After the presentations, instruments and adaptations were transferred to the UFMG Music therapy Clinic for attendance. The Extension Project Paramec of the UFMG created a sub-working group to continue the work undertaken in the discipline. Conclusion: the discipline has demonstrated great success and achieved the objectives, with the instruments and adaptations developed as the expressed forms of creative processes. Furthermore, it was revealed that an inter or transdisciplinary team is benefi cial for better creation of educational, rehabilitative and assistive technology devices.
