How Does It Work?

You will learn to integrate one of music listening, composition/songwriting, improvisation, or music re-creation.
If you have no previous musical training >>
You will integrate clinical music listening experiences into your work. Depending on you and your clients, this includes one or more of: guided imagery to music; creating therapeutic playlists; musical life-review; exploring topics through familiar songs; and self-expression through found music.

My approach to training is informed by my ongoing experiences with the wonderful professionals and students I have had the fortune to work with. I have provided clinical supervision to over 150 university students, interns, and professionals and have taught music therapy extensively at universities across Canada - most recently at McGill University. I am currently a Music Therapy Research Fellow at Wilfrid Laurier University and Core Faculty in the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University.
