How Do I Become a Music Therapist?

Music therapy is still considered a "new" profession in the state of New Hampshire and I am frequently asked about my music therapy credentials by friends, parents, and other allied health professionals. You may or may not have heard about NH House Bill 1286 relative to the licensure of music therapists. As chair of the task for for music therapy advocacy in NH, I’ve been very involved with the process of the bill and one of the initial concerns when the process began was the question of our training and education. Today I'm sharing my personal journey to becoming a music therapist and some general facts about the training and qualifications of a board certified music therapist.​​
