Title | A Kiwi Odyssey: Music Therapy University Training in New Zealand Takes Flight |
Authors | |
Abstract | This article looks at the new postgraduate music therapy programme at Massey University in New Zealand, and at how it has developed as this countrys first full-time tertiary course in music therapy. Music therapy in New Zealand has a history going back almost 30 years, and the new programme builds on the fine traditions established over that time. The emphasis and challenge have been to craft a programme that weaves the many skills required to become a competent music therapist with the unique flavour of what music therapy is and can become in the ethnically diverse and rich cultures of Aotearoa - New Zealand. Particular attention and discussion are given regarding the issue of supervised clinical training. |
