FAQ

  • Who can register for this course?

    Graduates of the 12-week Music-Integrated Therapy Training program and Certified Music Therapists.

  • What musical skills do I need to take this training?

    This depends upon the Clinical-Musical Method you choose. No musical training is required for the Listening method. Some musical training can be beneficial for the Re-Creation method. People who are comfortable making music - be that through singing, playing an instrument, and/or through computer technology - will benefit most from the training in Improvisation and Composition/Songwriting. If you are uncertain which method would be the best fit, please reach out. I would be glad to hear from you! https://deborahseabrook.com/training-contact/

    Yes! All continuing education clinical-musical methods are also offered as individual training programs. You can view them through your "Courses" in your Course Dashboard.

Seabrook Music Therapy operates on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, which includes Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi.  This land is also Treaty territory of the Williams Treaties and is now home to many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. I am grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and play on this land.
