Tiivistelmä
The aim of this article is to open the ways and possibilities how music can be involved in social work education. Using music and other creative arts in different levels of education is not a new phenomenon. In social work and in other social services there is a lot of evidence how music can reach people in a way where sometimes words are not needed. Although music and other creative arts have a long history in helping and healing professions there are still many new innovations which could be introduced in social and health care. For example new technology opens the way for personalized music with iPods. In some cases personalized music may be an alternative even to the use of medications. In Oulu University of Applied Sciences there is a long tradition of using music in education and the new program of community musicians is opening new connections.
