摘要:While music therapy courses rarely cover the finer points of social policy, a basic
knowledge of how this system of governance works can be highly beneficial for those
wanting to maximise their presence and impact in a given field. Taking an ecological
approach, this article presents how music therapy as a discipline and practice can be seen
as located within structures of policy. Further, it illustrates how understanding these
structures can help practitioners and researchers capitalise on the opportunities they
provide, and work around the barriers they impose. It does this by providing a background
of the ecological model approach, and discussing how this approach can be useful for
thinking about the relationship between music therapy and social policy. It then uses the
policy situation surrounding music in Australian schools to give a grounded example of
how understanding this situation can help position music therapy to meet key policy goals
at national and localised levels. It is hoped that increased awareness, and an example of
how it can be applied, will empower music therapists to learn about policies in their
specific areas, and capitalise on the opportunities they provide.
