The Master of Music Therapy provides a course of study for those wishing to practice as music therapists in settings such as hospitals, special schools, aged care facilities, community health programs, and private practice.
The two-year program at the University of Melbourne provides advanced knowledge of the theory, practice, and research of music therapy.
You will learn traditional and ground-breaking theoretical approaches to practice with people across the life span, from preschool-aged children through to older adults, with Music Therapy Methods classes covering voice and guitar skills, improvisation, songs, and performances with dyads and groups, as well as receptive music therapy.
A major component of the course consists of four clinical training placements supervised by qualified music therapists in settings such as hospitals, schools, residential care, and the community.
Students undertake clinical placements of a minimum of 80 days in total across two years with an approved provider.
