The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of creating music drama in music therapy settings on improving self-expression and social skills of children from multi-cultural families. The participants in this study consisted of 22 children from multi-cultural families, and 11 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group, then the other 11 to the control group. The experimental group participated in the activities to create music drama twice a week, 14 sessions in total, and 30 minutes in each. The control group had no music therapy services. Both group members answered the questionnaires of self-expression and social skills before and after the program, and Mann-Whitney scale was used for data analysis. Results first showed that the experimental group significantly improved self-expression scores compared to the control group. Specifically, they showed significant increases for content and phonetic factors in self-expression. However, there was no significant difference between two groups in non-verbal factor, although the average score of non-verbal factors slightly increased from pre to post test in the experimental group. Secondly, the experimental group showed significant increases in sociality scale, specifically for sociability and cooperativity factors. The results suggest that creating music drama would be an effective intervention in music therapy settings to improve self-expression and social skills of children from multi-cultural families.
