Rosemarie Tüpker
German university teacher
Rosemarie Tüpker (born 15 February 1952) is a German music therapist and musicologist.
Biography
Born in Korschenbroich, Tüpker first studied piano and percussion at the Musikhochschule Köln and then psychology, philosophy and musicology with direct graduation to doctorate at the University of Cologne. While still a student, she took part in the first training course for music therapists (mentoring course music therapy in Herdecke) from 1978 to 1980 and then worked in in-patient psychotherapeutic care.
She was a student of Wilhelm Salber and Jobst Fricke and co-founder of the Institute for Music Therapy and Morphology (IMM) together with Eckhard Weymann, Tilmann Weber and Frank Grootaers, which emerged from the research group "Music Therapy and Morphology" and initiated seminars and morphological further education. Morphological music therapy is an in depth psychological and art analogous view of music therapy processes without claiming to be a treatment method in its own right. The research group developed concepts for the analysis of music therapeutic improvisations and treatment processes.
From 1990 to 2017, Tüpker headed the diploma course in music therapy and the master's course Klinische Musiktherapie at the University of Münster. In 2005 she habilitated with her work Musik in Rehabilitation und Therapie. She has been retired since autumn 2017. She continues to supervise the doctoral course in music therapy at the University of Münster.
