Music is your superpower

pre-approved for 6 CMTE credits

Music is infinite. There are many professions that include the use of music, but few that use music clinically. As clinical musicians, it is our responsibility to continuously deepen our understanding and competence of the clinical use of music. There is always more to learn about how we can use music. From instrumentation to form, pitch to rhythm, texture to dynamics. . . improving our clinical use of music leads us toward mastering our craft as music therapists and therefore better serving our clients through this limitless medium.

Personal Development is Professional Development

pre-approved for 5 CMTE credits

We’ve all heard about how important self care is, filling up our own cup allows us to overflow and care for others. Similarly, growing as an individual allows us to better serve as professionals. Ultimately, you are a person serving in a professional setting as your professional self. You are at the core of all you do professionally. Clinical skills and professional growth can only get you so far if you don’t take the time to develop personally as well.

Intervention Expansion and Inspiration

pre-approved for 5 CMTE credits

Intervention expansions include elements that assist your client in relating to and engaging with an intervention; they address your client’s unique needs by making the intervention more accessible to them. When implemented correctly, these expansion strategies can support your client’s mastery during challenging interventions. Intervention expansions can make your interventions more accessible, can encourage new ways to use music, and can lead to exploring other therapeutic mediums. Trying out new and exciting intervention expansions will enable you to diversify your practice and better serve your clients.
