Many musicians experience musculoskeletal complaints, which can impact their relationship with music. In this qualitative study, I sought to investigate how musicians with musculoskeletal pain could explore and possibly enhance their relationships with music through music therapy. Three participants each took part in eight individual music therapy sessions including active and receptive techniques. I collected data through video recording the sessions and semi-structured interviews were also conducted. The data analysis process entailed interpretive phenomenological analysis. I developed six main themes: In music therapy one can identify and express needs and desires about one’s musical journey; one is allowed to feel and explore one’s emotions; one has space to express and make meaning in relation to one’s musical journey; one can build additional resilience; one can reconnect to music; one can alleviate and work productively with pain. I discuss how participating in music therapy afforded these participants opportunities to work productively with their pain as well as changing some of their perceptions around their pain and its impact on their lives and musical journeys.
