Interested in becoming a Certified Music Therapist? Check Out Capilano University’s Information Session April 2nd

In Capilano University’s Bachelor of Music Therapy Program, you’ll learn from some of Canada’s top educators, gaining the knowledge and skills to begin your own music therapy practice. The program faculty believes in the profound capacity of music to be transformative. They believe in the unique value of each human being and in their innate abilities to grow, to become self-aware and to be resourceful. In this program, they believe the development of these capabilities is best facilitated in a mutually respectful, creative environment in which the student is encouraged, inspired and challenged. They include traditional and transpersonal perspectives while grounding them in the unique context of music therapy.

As a music therapist, you’ll learn to use music as a transformative change agent in many different settings, including children with autism, adults with mental health challenges and the elderly with dementia, to mention a few.

This program provides students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and develop competencies in such areas as music therapy practice, clinical disorders, assessment, planning and intervention, improvisation and music of many eras and cultures, interpersonal and counselling skills, group dynamics, basic research, and documentation. Students also develop competencies in communication, music, teamwork, therapeutic skills, professionalism, knowledge of human growth and development, critical thinking, and theoretical foundations. Students learn to integrate a variety of music therapy styles with a focus on the interactive qualities between the clients, the therapist, and the music.
