Diploma in Music Therapy - in two hours (+18 hours study!)

This course is only two hours long, but it places a strong emphasis on active participation, student engagement, and the sharing of ideas and experiences. If you fully engage with the exercises, discussions, and reflections, the learning experience can go far beyond the course’s short running time.

You will begin with a brief introduction to music therapy and its potential benefits, followed by an accessible overview of the theoretical foundations that underpin this field. The course explains how music may be used to support physical, emotional, cognitive, and social wellbeing. It also benefits from the practical insights of one of the instructors, an accomplished musician with qualifications in NLP and music therapy.

A large part of the course focuses on key music therapy techniques and approaches, including improvisation, songwriting, and receptive listening. These approaches are explained with practical examples and supported by case studies showing how music-based interventions can work in real-life situations. Importantly, the course also examines the limitations and challenges of music therapy, offering a balanced discussion rather than a purely promotional one.

By the end of the course, you will have gained a solid introductory understanding of music therapy, including its aims, possible benefits, practical techniques, and some of the issues involved in applying it responsibly.

Please also make sure you read the regular educational announcements and engage in the Q&A discussions, as these will help deepen your understanding and extend your learning.

Note : Huge Course Manual plus lectures on an original musical score are included.
