Use your passion for music to help improve people's lives. Join the only programme in New Zealand that trains graduates to become professional music therapists.
Learn how to use music to support the development and wellbeing of people with complex emotional, intellectual, physical, or social needs. You'll get a comprehensive grounding in music therapy. Study the theory and put it into practice in a clinical or social community setting. Then take what you've learned from your practical experience and apply that to your research project. When you study at the New Zealand School of Music, you'll learn from dedicated staff with many years' experience as music therapists. If you have a mature and compassionate attitude, curiosity, a knack for critical thinking, and a passion for practical, creative music-making, then this programme is for you.
