1 Clinical skills

Clinical skills are the foundation of your music therapy practice. They include your ability to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate music therapy interventions for different clients and settings. You need to have a solid knowledge of music theory, psychology, neuroscience, and human development, as well as the skills to play various instruments, sing, improvise, and compose. To maintain and improve your clinical skills, you should seek regular supervision, feedback, and continuing education.

The four most important skills that a music therapist needs are empathy, musical skills, communication skills, and theoretical knowledge. Empathy is essential for understanding clients' needs and emotions. Musical skills allow the music therapist to effectively use music as a therapeutic tool. Communication skills are crucial for establishing a therapeutic relationship and conveying music therapy concepts to clients. Theoretical knowledge is important for grounding clinical practices and evidence-based intervention. These combined skills empower the music therapist to provide effective, client-centered treatments.

A?adiría a las ideas de Geovane Benito, la capacidad de observación y comprensión. La observación está vinculada a la capacidad atencional para saber monitorizar todo lo que acontece en las sesiones, y al mismo tiempo saber situar todo eso dentro de un contexto global. Por eso, no sólo es saber mirar y se?alar sino comprender qué significa lo observado en el conjunto del proceso terapéutico

2 Communication skills

Communication skills are essential for building rapport and trust with your clients, as well as for collaborating with other professionals and stakeholders. You need to be able to listen actively, express yourself clearly, and adapt your communication style to different situations and audiences. You also need to be able to document your work effectively, using appropriate formats and terminology. To enhance your communication skills, you should practice your verbal, non-verbal, written, and musical communication, and seek opportunities to present your work to others.

Si cabe, el proceso de musicoterapia es en sí mismo un proceso de comunicación en el que participan diversos lenguajes. La meta última de las sesiones es llegar a entablar conexión con la realidad de esa persona que tenemos enfrente y que es diferente a la nuestra y es cambiante. Por eso el musicoterapeuta debe ser muy flexible en el establecimiento de la comunicación por sus cambios de código, significado y contenido. A su vez, se ha de tener en cuenta qué se puede o no comunicar al paciente y cuidadores sobre su proceso, además de qué tipo de recursos comunicativos hay que emplear con los colegas y los profesionales afines al sector de la musicoterapia.

En países donde la musicoterapia no está regulada, y pienso en todo el arco de países hispanohablantes, el desarrollo profesional de la musicoterapia está muy vinculada a las acciones de emprendimiento privadas. La falta de regulación hace más difícil el acceso a hospitales e instituciones donde ejercer la profesión, por eso es preciso ser muy creativo y analizar las oportunidades para ofrecer los servicios. Esto exige inversión económica, campa?as divulgativas, dise?os de marca, analizar los contextos sociales… poner mucha energía en arrancar proyectos y darles continuidad sin tener respaldos institucionales.

4 Technology skills

Technology skills are becoming more important for music therapists, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. They include your ability to use online platforms, software, apps, and devices to deliver music therapy services remotely, as well as to record, edit, and share your work. You need to be familiar with the technical aspects, benefits, and limitations of different technologies, as well as the ethical and legal implications of using them. To improve your technology skills, you should explore the available options, test them, and seek training and support.

El musicoterapeuta ha de trabajar en sintonía con los avances de la sociedad. La tecnología es uno de los ejemplos de los cambios radicales y significativos de los últimos tiempos. A nivel musical, buena parte de nuestros pacientes, sobre todo los más jóvenes, escuchan estilos musicales creados con tecnologías que solo pueden ser emulados con tecnología. Si trabajamos con rap, trap, beta music, etc. ineludiblemente hemos de recurrir a la informática y sintetizadores. Hemos de conocer los avances y estudiar la manera de incorporarlos en aquellos contextos clínicos donde sean necesarios.

El cuidar que no se cuida poco puede ayudar. No podemos ofrecernos a acompa?ar a los demás en sus momentos de carencia o dificultad si nosotros no estamos plenos de energía y equilibrio Psicoemocional. Estos cuidados implican una actitud de respeto hacia los pacientes, una actitud ética y responsable de atender. Regularmente el musicoterapeuta debe retirarse y focalizarse en su bienestar para luego poder dar el 100%, logrando así un efecto terapéutico de altas prestaciones.
