title = "The musical identities of Danish music therapy students: A study based on musical autobiographies",
abstract = "In the music therapy masters program at Aalborg University (Denmark) Music and Identity is a short, intensive course, based on a musical autobiography written by each participating student. Since 1999 almost 100 students have written a narrative of their musical life story. This article will focus on contributions from students participating from 2010-12 (n=21). Musical autobiographies have been analyzed (a) using the theoretical model of Even Ruud (1997, 1998), (b) as thematic analysis (Braun \& Clark 2006), (c) using RepGrid, a qualitative research methodology based on George Kelly{\textquoteright}s Personal Construct Theory (Abrams \& Meadows 2005). Patterns of identity construction are presented, and the roles and functions of music in different stages of life discussed, including the self-reported influence of music on the students' health.",
