Queer identity can be complex and multifaceted, especially for adolescents. The aim of this qualitative case study was to explore the impact of a queer music therapy (QMT) model on a group of LGBTQ+ adolescents. The music therapy process that was conducted was designed to facilitate the exploration and expression of queer identity. The study was conducted at a private high school in South Africa with two participants. The music therapy sessions were conducted over a period of six weeks and comprised techniques from the QMT model such as critical lyric analysis, music-centred art processes, musical autobiography, and group anthem writing. The findings emerged from the thematic analysis of transcribed audio recordings of the sessions as well as semi-structured interviews. Results showed that the music therapy sessions offered the participants a space to explore their queer identities, as well as offering them a space for acceptance, growth, and reflection. These findings were presented by the following themes: navigating queer identity, interactions with self and others, dealing with challenges, family dynamics, the influence of religion, supportive spaces, the role of music therapy, living in a queer world, understanding acceptance, experiences of difficult spaces, the role of family, and experiences within music therapy. These themes are discussed in relation to queer identity.
