TUESDAY IS THE BIG DAY! We hope you'll join us!

West Chester University's Wells School of Music and Office of External Relations invite you to join Senator Carolyn Comitta and the Music Therapy PA State Task Force for a very special and important event toward music therapy licensure.

On April 14th, 2026, from 11-12:30PM EST, Senator Carolyn Comitta and colleagues, the PASTF, faculty and students from West Chester University's music therapy program, local music therapists, and recipients of care will discuss the necessity of passing SB579 state licensure for board-certified music therapists.

This state licensure would open avenues for state revenue, professional protection, and, most importantly, expand access to services across the state. Let's keep music therapists in Pennsylvania!

General public attendance is available via Zoom by scanning the QR codes below or by clicking this link at the time of the event.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Today, music therapy students Lundy Langstaff (Fr.), Aurora Kishbaugh (Fr.), Rae Schnable (Fr.), Salem Backenstoss (Jr.), and Michaela Eagles (Jr.) attended PASTF Hill Day, accompanied by Dr. Suh & Prof. O'Brien, to promote the Music Therapy Licensure Senate Bill SB579!

Advocating for this bill is imperative for all music therapists in Pennsylvania. Did you know... PA has the most training programs in the U.S.? When our music therapists graduate from our institutions, they leave for surrounding areas to work where licensure is available.

What does this mean? It means that music therapy is more widely accessible to people who can benefit from it and helps prevent harm to participants when working with a licensed professional.

Who wouldn't want this for Pennsylvania?!?!

Want to learn more about the bill and spread the word? Visit Music Therapy PA State Task Force's FB page! Let's open access to more people who can benefit from music therapy services and keep our music therapists in PA!
