Diversity of practice demands diversity in approaches. This explorative qualitative research study was conducted to help me understand and improve my practice with a wide range of client populations in various clinical settings. Clinical work took place over eight months at a specialized clinic working with mainly young children and adolescents with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Clinical work also took place as part of an outreach service at a healthcare facility for young adults with various neurological disabilities. Music-centered music therapy, humanistic music therapy, behavioural music therapy, and psychodynamic music therapy approaches influenced this work. The methodology I employed for the research was secondary analysis of data.  This involved thematic analysis (both inductive and deductive) of my clinical notes and reflective journal, to identify and draw out themes pertaining to my research question. Clinical data has been used to illustrate the findings, and a clinical vignette is included to illustrate the approaches utilized in clinical practice. The data revealed underlying humanistic frameworks in most of my clinical practice, but also indicated that I draw on other approaches in certain contexts. This research provides a descriptive qualitative account of one student’s music therapy practice in New Zealand. The example may provide some insight into the potential benefits of utilizing various approaches when working with clients with varying needs.
