You will work closely with other students across the Academy of Music and explore the latest music technologies and their relevance to music therapy.
You will design a personal study plan that supports your professional and personal growth within the specialisation of your choice. You will participate in community therapy projects and conduct research into music therapy and cultural sensitivity.
I chose the Master Music Therapy because I worked as a music therapist in a nursing home for people living with dementia and with adults with physical disabilities. I wanted to deepen my understanding of what music therapy could mean for them.
