Under musikstudier på gymnasiet, folkhögskola och musikhögskola har jag också tyckt mig urskilja att många musiker har en bakgrund i kyrkan. Även de tidiga kompositörerna, såsom Bach, var själv kyrkomusiker. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka huSince I started attending church on my own initiative, I have often been fascinated by the music and the amount of space it gets in the service. During my music studies at the upper secondary school, folk high school and music college, I have also found myself distinguishing that many musicians come from a background in the church. Even the early composers, such as Bach, were church musicians. Thi

Emotions play an important role in social work, including child welfare. Child welfare workers interact daily with clients in difficult life situations, in which strong, negative emotions are common. As a professional, a child welfare worker cannot express too many emotions, but is expected to show a calm and objective expression.
