Analytical Music Therapy Certification Program
Blended Learning Analytical Music Therapy Certification
Program Description
Analytical Music Therapy training (AMT) is A MUSIC THERAPY ADVANCED TRAINING program which provides students and professionals the opportunity to achieve CERTIFICATION in this approach. Trainees will develop their professional identities as AMT practitioners through didactic and experiential learning, as well as engaging in and promoting global music therapy education. This training will be
offered through ON-LINE and IN-PERSON, INTENSIVE SESSIONS, and is designed to be flexible in scheduling and paced to meet individual trainee's needs. Regardless of where the trainees reside, they can engage in the coursework and when possible, receive instruction in multiple languages.
As an advanced clinical training program, trainees will engage in the study of music psychotherapy, and learn techniques and strategies. Trainees will also have a deeper understanding of the conduct of actual music therapy, case studies, individual and group supervision, as well as the experience of self-exploration by receiving Analytical Music Therapy sessions. The ultimate goal for this program is to deepen the trainees' understanding about psychodynamic theories and use of AMT improvisation in order to integrate their theoretical, practical, and experiential learning around their own clinical and personal work. When trainees meet all the requirements and competencies, the certificate of analytical music therapy will be awarded to them when they exit the program.
