About the course

The BA in Music Therapy program at Montclair State University, approved by the American American Music Therapy Association (AMTA), normally takes 4 1/2 years to complete. The training of a music therapist is a unique combination of music, psychology and music therapy, including music therapy clinical work. In addition to regular coursework, a six-month full-time supervised internship is required. Students may intern at any of the over 150 approved internship facilities across the United States. While some Montclair State students intern in this immediate area, many take advantage of the opportunity to work in another part of the country. The intensive spirit of the internship provides the student with the day-to-day supervision necessary to refine one?s clinical skills and end one?s academic training. Some internships provide a stipend and/or room and board. Music Therapy is the process of clients and qualified music therapists working together through music to promote mental and physical health. Through carefully planned musical experiences, the client is provided with opportunities to address therapeutic goals across a wide range of needs. Music therapists work with individuals and groups from a variety of age ranges and life circumstances. The therapist may work as a member of a therapeutic team or as a private practitioner to assess client needs, formulate treatment goals and develop music-based strategies for healing. Music therapists work in medical, psychiatric, developmental, nursing, end-of-life, forensic and community care. The Cali School assists our graduates in the process of identifying professional opportunities. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
