MA Music Therapy

University of Roehampton

Become a qualified music therapist and learn to use music to improve wellbeing and to positively support people of all ages through diverse challenges. Music therapists draw on the inherent qualities of music to support people of all ages and at all stages of life who face diverse challenges. Music therapy facilitates positive changes in wellbeing through engagement in musical interaction. Music therapists work with both musical and verbal material within a therapeutic relationship, engaging a wide range of service users in accessible therapeutic work, to promote greater wellbeing through specific therapeutic aims. The programme enables those who are competent and practising musicians to train as therapists, combining their skills, education, and life experiences to support a diverse range of service users.
