WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
Music therapy is a discipline in which Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains. -Canadian Association of Music Therapists
Accredited music therapists (MTA) complete a Bachelor or a Graduate Certificate in music therapy and a 1000-hour supervised clinical internship. Upon completion of an internship, graduates must pass the board exam to gain MTA certification.
