THE BONNY METHOD FOR CHILDREN:  ADAPTING THE METHOD, SELECTING THE MUSIC

Mary Reher - Volume: 18

This article outlines examples from some of the many practitioners who utilize GIM with children and youth. The adapted forms for this population can include structural changes (e.g., shortened duration of music and induction) or a greater variety of processing methods (e.g., sand play or musical improvisation). After describing some of my own experiences with adapting GIM to the needs of children, I include a list of musical selections that are appropriate for sessions with young listeners.
