This pilot feasibility study evaluated affective and motivational responses in music therapy trainees when using immersive virtual reality (VR) compared to acoustic instruments as therapeutic modalities.
Pilot feasibility design limits generalizability; trainee sample may not reflect clinical patient populations; small sample size typical of feasibility studies constrains statistical power.
Findings are preliminary; clinicians considering VR tools in music therapy training should await larger controlled trials before adopting them as standard alternatives to acoustic instruments.
