Resumen
The paper introduces the topic of the Musical Assertiveness Training (MAT), developed in 2014. The method is based on selected psychological theories such as the cognitive theory of social learning by Bandura, the theory of multiple intelligences by H. Gardner and the concept of self-efficacy, self-presentation and self-esteem. The article describes the basic concepts of assertiveness and refers to the latest worldwide achievements in the field of assertiveness training. The perspective of music therapy brings a new quality to assertiveness training known for years, giving it a new character and allowing for development of the same skills but in a different way. The MAT-programme is divided into the cycle of twelve music-therapeutic sessions and leads step by step to the basic skills of assertive behaviour. It is designed as a workshop and has been used so far in in the process of educating future pedagogues both as an educational and therapeutic method, supporting the development of emotional, communication and social competences.
