Music therapy is an allied health profession that requires the completion of an approved music therapy degree program at one of the 70 colleges/universities in the U.S. with approved music therapy programming (approved by the American Music Therapy Association). Undergraduate curriculum includes coursework in music therapy, psychology and behavioral sciences, music, biology, and general studies, while also including a minimum of 1200 hours of clinical training.

Springfield’s own liberal arts college, Drury University, offers an approved music therapy education program with on-campus opportunities for clinical training with board-certified music therapists. Our clinical staff at CMTW has the great pleasure and opportunity to train the music therapy students in the Drury University program!

Music therapy is all about using music (a POWERFUL tool) to reach specific, non-musical goals. Here at our clinic, we design and use music purposefully to help our clients create lasting change in their lives. Music can be manipulated and applied in SO MANY different ways to affect one’s emotional, cognitive, and physical responses. Give us a call if you are interested in experiencing the power of music used purposefully!
