"Sufi music therapy" is a recent concept that encompasses various practices prior to the very concept of "music therapy". It is a tradition of more than ten centuries of using music as a therapeutic resource. Throughout that time, thinkers and theorists such as Al Farabi, Ibn Sina and Sefiyudin al Urmevi have written texts that analyze and account for the effects of certain musical scales on people. Also, since the end of the 20th century, this practice has been taken to the clinical and academic field, which has helped to obtain valuable information in clinical studies and in texts by people like Dr. Oruç Güvenç and Dr. Levent Öztürk. Thus, we will know historical aspects of practice and theory and we will address the current situation of this discipline.
In the course we will also learn three of the most used scales in Sufi music therapy and how to improvise with them (improvisation, as in many schools of music therapy, plays a fundamental role in this tradition).
