Abstract

Confidence in arts, and particularly in music, is becoming more prominent in the Spanish therapeutic field, being users more and more diverse. Although multiple international reports, especially those coming from the field of neurosciences, have proved the effectiveness of singing as a therapy in very different groups, in Spain it is understudied. The vocal technique indicates that the first step to control our voice is the good use of the body, and relaxation facilitates it. Relaxation techniques are increasingly divergent and requested, but few guidelines have been set to work them with vulnerable groups. This paper offers an example on how to work them with young adults with intellectual disabilities. Through a case study and within a singing therapy workshop, which goal was channeled to the improvement of participation processes with vulnerable groups, some relaxation activities were validated. Our study shows that, generally, the approaching times with the sample before the intervention, and the fact that a team of professionals was present in the sessions, are the factors that facilitated the good development of the program. Specifically, working in front of a mirror reinforced kinesthetic understanding when segmented relaxation was practiced Progressive muscle relaxation seems to be the most arduous, being autogenous relaxation the most difficult to guide, but the one whose results are more remarkable.
