Apply Your Learning
Laurier’s Bachelor of Music Therapy program will teach you how to use music as a therapeutic tool to help clients with various needs, such as developmental and physical disabilities, mental health issues, and geriatric care. You will have the opportunity to practice your skills in real-world settings, such as community-based organizations and our on-campus music therapy clinic, where experienced professionals will guide and support you.
Here are just a few examples of the experiences you’ll get in the Music Therapy program:
- Get supervised clinical training, a crucial component of our program, which is offered in community-based settings and at our on-campus music therapy clinic.
- Complete a 1,000-hour internship (organized by Laurier) in fourth year, making you eligible to apply for certification as a music therapist through the Canadian Association of Music Therapists upon graduation.
- Use your major instrument(s) in music therapy sessions, along with percussion, piano and guitar, which you will be taught at Laurier.
- Join the Music Therapy Students Association (MTSA). MTSA hosts events throughout the year to support the academic, career and personal needs of our Music Therapy students.
