N2 - In many instances, music therapists are called upon to
analyze their own work or to present it to others. However, the temporality
and complexity of clinical-musical events generates challenging
difficulties in providing a quick overview of a single session.
In the present paper, a methocl to visually map the events that occur
in music therapy sessions is proposed, following in the footsteps of
authors who have suggested graphical notation as a possible solution
to the problem. The Music-therapy Analyzing Partitura(MAP) is used
by the therapist to describe what happened in a session and is shared
with colleagues who may read and discuss it. The establishment of a
standard code is proposed, which is based on known principles of
music notation and new simply designed symbols and icons. Two
clinical sessions with a group are described and the advantages and
disadvantages of the MAP are discussed.
