A "WIENER MELANGE" IS NOT JUST A COFFEE …
In a joint research project, the Vienna Institute for Music Therapy (WIM) and the WZMF - Vienna Centre for Music Therapy Research would like to record the developments, changes; and expansions of the Vienna School of Music Therapy and update the understanding of important basic building blocks and practice-relevant basic theories.
Music therapists who have studied music therapy in Vienna between 1958 and today are invited to take part in an online survey (duration approx. 15 - 30 minutes depending on the detail of your answers). On request, we can also send you the questionnaire as a fillable PDF or in paper format. The survey is in German. Simply send us an e-mail to office@wim-musiktherapie.at and provide your contact details.
The online survey is available until 31 December 2024.
We look forward to your participation!
