Bachelors of Music in Music Therapy

The BMus program in music therapy prepares students for a career in the health care and special education professions. Music therapists use carefully planned music interventions to achieve desired changes in client individualized-behavior and functioning. Music therapy is a profession in which engagement in active music-making helps a client achieve nonmusical therapeutic goals. Educating the potential music therapist requires both a wide range of musical skills and the ability to work with people in a therapeutic manner. Music therapy students have many opportunities to develop their clinical skills.
