  <title>Ep 93 Colin Lee</title>
  <description>Colin Lee talks to Martin Lawes about his musicology-oriented approach as a&amp;amp;nbsp;Nordoff-Robbins trained music therapist, and about the newly published&amp;amp;nbsp;Oxford Handbook of Queer and Trans Music Therapy which he edited. The&amp;amp;nbsp;podcast begins and ends with music. To start with, a composition by a music&amp;amp;nbsp;therapist commissioned to begin the handbook. To conclude, an improvisation&amp;amp;nbsp;from a music therapy session where Colin explains his musical&amp;amp;nbsp;decision-making as a therapist.  Colin Andrew Lee studied piano at the Nordwestdeutsche Musikakademie and&amp;amp;nbsp;subsequently earned his postgraduate diploma in music therapy from the&amp;amp;nbsp;Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre, London, UK. Colin was awarded the&amp;amp;nbsp;Music Therapy Charity research fellowship completing his doctoral thesis on&amp;amp;nbsp;the analysis of improvisations with people living with HIV/AIDS at London&amp;amp;nbsp;Lighthouse, a center for people facing the challenge of AIDS. He continued&amp;amp;nbsp;his clinical work at Sir Michael Sobell House Hospice, Oxford, UK. After&amp;amp;nbsp;immigrating to North America, Colin taught at Berklee College of Music,&amp;amp;nbsp;Boston, USA, and later at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.&amp;amp;nbsp;Following the publication of Music at the Edge: The music therapy&amp;amp;nbsp;experiences of a musician with AIDS (1996, 2016), he subsequently created&amp;amp;nbsp;the theory of aesthetic music therapy that was the subject of Colin's&amp;amp;nbsp;monograph, The Architecture of Aesthetic Music Therapy (2003). Colin&amp;amp;nbsp;recently edited The Oxford Handbook of Queer and Trans Music Therapy (2024),&amp;amp;nbsp;and is currently editing The Oxford Handbook of Improvisation in Music&amp;amp;nbsp;Therapy. His research interests also include the analysis of postminimalist&amp;amp;nbsp;composers and their influence on the study of applied health musicology. References  Lee, C. A.
