I completed my two years of music therapy training from the New Zealand School of Music and my thesis is about how to build and sustain connections through music therapy with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I graduated with a master's degree in Music Therapy in December 2018.
我完成了在新西兰音乐学院的学习，并于2018年12月获得了音乐治疗硕士学位。我的论文研究方向是关于如何通过音乐治疗和患有自闭症的孩子建立联系和维持联系。
I had some work experience with children with special needs before I started my music therapy training. I helped the students from the Special Education School of Xiamen, by organizing musical games and activities, in 2009. I joined a fundraising charity event to help children with ASD in Xiamen, China, in 2010. When I was doing my music workshops at schools in New Zealand, I started to become aware that some children have special needs in the schools. I was surprised, however, that how much they enjoyed the music. One child who hid in the corner gradually raised his head and paid attention to me. Another who had epilepsy and delayed response smiled at me. I really felt that I had achieved something significant.
在开始音乐治疗学习之前，我有一些特教领域的工作经验。2009年，我参与了厦门特教学校的趣味运动会，帮助那里的学生们编排音乐游戏和活动。2010年，我参加了帮助自闭症孩子的慈善演出活动。 2013年和2014年在惠灵顿当地学校做音乐工作坊的时候，我时常发现一些有特殊需要的孩子，我惊讶于他们感受音乐的能力。 记得有一个坐在教室角落的孩子，他微微抬起头，默默看着我，渐渐跟着音乐的节奏摇摆，并露出了笑容。他让我意识到了音乐的力量和它所发挥的重要性。
I had an opportunity to visit a local special education school and spoke with a music therapist in 2013. I was deeply touched by how he shared his patience, love, and kindness through music-making with children in the sessions. This visit and my experience of working with children have triggered me to choose to be a music therapist.
2013年，我有幸参观了一所特殊教育学校，并见到了在那所学校工作的音乐治疗师。 通过半天的音乐治疗观摩和交流，我被音乐治疗师在和接受治疗的孩子们一起工作时所表现出的耐心，爱心和善良深深打动。 这次的参观以及我与孩子们一起工作的经历让我选择成为一名音乐治疗师。
