As an undergraduate music major with an increasing interest in psychology, it made sense for me to consider music therapy. Then I realized it was basically a dual major - music/psychology (at least at my undergraduate institution) and the advanced musical skills needed for activities in that career were far below what was expected of you as a music major. It really didn't make a lot of sense to me - and it still does not!
The resources others have already provided are probably the best ones for your student. Dean M.

From: "Wehlburg, Catherine" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 15:24:15 -0600 X-Message-Number: 12 Fellow TIPsters, An undergraduate student (majoring in music composition) and taking my general psychology course, has decided that he is interested in learning more about becoming a music therapist. Are there programs for this? Licensing requirements? Any insight that you have that I can share with my student would be much appreciated.
