Whats Music Therapy?

<p>Hi i was wondering if anyone could give me more information as to what music therapy really is and what a career in it would be like.
thanks</p>

<p>Have you looked here? Welcome</a> to the American Music Therapy Association Website</p>

<p>yeah i was looking for more of people's opinion of the major/career.. like from someone who has or knows someone that majored in it and how its worked out for them</p>

<p>We have a fulltime music therapist on staff at our suburban hospital. The position has been in existence perhaps 3 years.</p>

<p>My daughter is strongly considering it and volunteers at a local geriatric center with a music therapist I know there. The main holdup for her is the pay level which tends to be pretty disappointing. She's hoping that as we Boomers age, the demand - and, thus the pay - will increase, but that's a bet she's not yet sure she wants to place.</p>
