Abstract

Musical Presentation is a therapeutic tool for the purpose of increasing clients' and students' knowledge of self and others via presenting their music. It is a collection of various musical compositions that are chosen by the client/student according to their importance and meaning in their lives, to be played in a music therapy group and receive feedback from their peers. By choosing and recording specific musical pieces on a CD in a specific order the client/student creates a personal and meaningful musical collage, which enables her1 to create and share her personal andmusical identity. The MP's various types and stages are being described and discussed. Two possible ways of analyzing the MP as a basis for understanding the presenter's intra- and interpersonal worlds are introduced: phenomenological analysis and Johari Window. An example of the Musical Presentation of Daniella, a music therapy student, accompanies the article in order to illustrate the use of this tool.
