1. Adolescents generally relate to the music of their peer culture and therefore find music a familiar medium for them. Self-expression is often facilitated because of the non-verbal aspect of music. Thus, listening to and discussing songs are safe and non-threatening to the teenager and offer a pleasurable situation where projection of personal thoughts and feelings is facilitated in the situation because it is one step removed from their own experiences (Keen 2001). The therapeutic process is enhanced and may face little resistance because the adolescent client is «tuned in» to the music and not the therapist, who may subsequently become perceived as a safe and trusted adult.
2. Using music with adolescents can facilitate self-concept by affording them structured, successful experiences linked to specific reinforcements. It can enhance communication and self-expression by allowing the client the metaphoric use of song lyrics to promote expression. A great deal of information can also be gained by providing adolescents with the opportunity to write their own songs.
Because of its powerful socializing effect, using music in adolescent groups can provide a common ground and thus improve constructive interaction in individuals who have negative or non-existent peer relationships.
