If you can find a “music therapy equivalency program” it is designed to carry over the basic musicianship courses you likely already have. Then you focus on the specific therapy clinical course work and psychology or biology courses you may not have as a teacher. It is usually a shortened program depending on your current background. St. Mary’s of the Woods College has a great online equivalency and works with MTs in your local area to help find your clinical placements. I’m a music therapist in TX and have supervised students for them before.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I'm currently looking for a music therapy equivalency program. Google has only done so much help as it keeps bringing up masters programs and full degrees. I'm in Wisconsin, currently teaching full time, and I love my school district, so it's not like I can take a couple of years off. I just have a lot of students with special needs who would benefit from music therapy. I have done extra classes for them where we do stuff that I've picked up from others, but I want the certification.

How is everyone finishing up the semester?

Considering a move, help! I teach k-12 vocal music at a school where I have/had a vision to improve the culture of singing (very sports focused small school) to build a choir program, which will take several years (2 years done). Been working diligently with my elem. music classes to create a climate where students are comfortable/willing to sing. I'm estimating 3 years to see middle school students buy in, and 5-6 years before my high school program sees any fruit of that labor. Stay? Move on?
