RR 27.
 Since my project is going to be on music therapy, I believe that I can include many different types of art.  I would love to include possible recordings of music therapy sessions. Some of the most powerful research I have seen so far has been the videos that show the effects of this therapy.  I would also like to include lots of photographs(with permission).  This will show the patients participating in the therapy and the progress they may be making.
RR. 26
 On pg. 515, the author says that art-based research is “an alternative form of qualitative research and representation which infuse elements, processes, and forms of the arts into scholarly work.” I really like this form of research because it is a unique way to present your information. It also involves your participants more and that is definitely something I would like to include in my project.  I do not want to be the only one to get something out of my research.  I think that the students that I will be testing should benefit from it as well.  As I continue to think about what I would like to do, I will consider how to involve more people.
