融入音樂治療之棒鐘活動於成人智能障礙者生活照護實務分享

Abstract

棒鐘(Hand-Chime) 是一種利用鋁製作而成的樂器。棒鐘的操作方式與手鐘(Hand-bells) 相似，但是其重量較手鐘為輕，容易用手握住與敲奏。棒鐘的特點在於沒有學過音樂的人能透過棒鐘習得獨奏和合奏的技巧。因此，本文以融入音樂治療之棒鐘課程為主題，文中會概要性的說明音樂治療於成人智能障礙者之生活照護、棒鐘課程對成人智能障礙者的優點、課程設計與原則，以及棒鐘課程的教案。希望透過本文的分享讓大眾瞭解棒鐘課程對於成人智能障礙者生活照護的方法。

Hand-chimes are musical instruments which are made of aluminum, and they are similar to hand-bells which are rung by hand. However, the hand-chimes are lighter than hand-bells, and they are easier to hold and play. Even people who have never played a musical instrument and have had no training in musical theory are able to play handchimes, either solo or as part of a musical ensemble. This article will provide practical sharing on music therapy-based hand-chimes activities for the life-caring of adults with intellectual disabilities. It will include music therapy, advantages of hand-chimes lessons, the principles of designing a lesson, and the assessment of the hand-chimes lessons for the life-caring of adults with intellectual disabilities.
