MessageTo Yiwen,

If you want to know what music therapy is, there are several ways you can do: suffering internets, books or journals.

a) You may go to AMTA website to see some definitions about music therapy. They also introduce what kinds of populations music therapy does, and how they do it.

b) I have no idea about if there are some books written about music therapy. If you can get books from Taiwan or USA, that will also help you get to know music therapy. Ex: An introduction to Music Therapy, by Dacis, W.B., Gfeller, K.E., and Thaut, M. H..

c) Reading articles is one of good ways. There are many articles in Journal of Music Therapy, and Music Therapy Perspectives. You may find some interesting articles.

Good Luck smilie

MessageTo Nina,

I am not sure about how ESL works with universities with music therapy. When you decide your schools, you may check it first. Thus, you can plan to do other language tests if they ask for.

Since you already have a bachelor in music, it will make you much easier to apply. You will also spend less time in finishing your master degree. So far, what I wrote on my blog are about applying to the graduate schools. Every schools has different requirements on equivalent graduate students. You can check each school on my blog.

As I known, every music therapy school requires international students to have TOEFL score. Some schools may allow people to study the first semester. International students get the required score during the first semester. Like what I said, each school is different. I suggest you to have a school list first and make a plan.

Good luck smilie

MessageTo Chiao-Ping,

So far, there are only few universities that have music therapy classes. In addition, these classes are about basic info of music therapy. If you get go to one of them, that's good. Reading a music therapy book could be your alternation.

If you plan to study abroad in music therapy, you may take some classes with music. If you get credits of it, that is great. If you can't, you may be asked to take classes with music basic skills again, such as theory, sign reading, and hearing. If you can learn some basic skills on guitar or piano, that will make you feel easier when you come here.

I only talk about USA.

MessageTo Tina,
Answer to 1st Q: If you have a music therapy certification, you "may" have a chance to have a full time job in the hospital. The title of jobs are various now. In a school system, I am not sure you can be a special education teacher. If you want to be a special education teacher, you may have to get info about it by yourself.

Answer to 2nd Q:It is also possible that a part time job will be your first one after being a music therapist.

You seem that you are very concerned about having a job as a music therapist. Yes, being a music therapist is harder to find a job than being a physical therapist or a nurse. I will suggest you to talk with some music therapists in Taiwan or get more info before going to study music therapy. Remember: everyone is different.

Message你好
我是來自台灣
目前在舊金山念語言學校
已在台灣文化大學音樂系畢業
之後想申請美國音樂治療研究所
想請問一下
這個部落格所介紹的音樂治療學校
是針對大學還是研究所部分
我是音樂系畢業
那讀音樂治療研究所
要到大學補修學分嗎? 要花多久的時間?
念研究所要花多久時間?
每家學校都要繳交托福成績嗎?
如果托福沒過可以先進學校一邊念研究所一邊上語言課程嗎?
我知道如果到esl念語言課程的話
有一些合作學校可以免托福
是大學部分還是連究所也可以免托福?
那請問哪一些免托福的學校有研究所的音樂治療系?
謝謝 smilie

Messagesmilie 您好:我是一位國中音樂老師,目前計畫赴美研讀音樂治療研究所,想請教1.如果赴美讀完音樂治療研究所,並取得美國音樂治療師執照,在台是否能有正職的工作機會,例如醫院職能治療師或特殊教育學校.等,2.或是在台只能以兼職名義行音樂治療的工作呢??3.另外,在台灣是否需要加考任何心理諮商師證照才得以在相關機構取得"正職"工作...而非以兼職接團體方式.謝謝您的協助回答
