DSST 2: Community Music Therapy
0.5 Credit

Community Music Therapy (CoMT) is an emerging discipline that embraces the foundational principles and practices of Community Music (CM), while applying therapeutic approaches derived from Music Therapy (MT). There is much common ground to explore, and students are given mini-research tasks in collaborative contexts to find applications for both CM and MT fields for common practice. Workshops provide experiential learning opportunities that assist in conceptualizing practice in local contexts. Students are given opportunities to reflect their own research in collaborative contexts with peers and faculty.
