在这里学什么？

The 36-hour Master of Music Therapy (MMT) degree program at the University of Dayton (UD) is designed for the experienced, board-certified music therapist who desires training in advanced competencies as outlined by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). The program equips the candidate with the knowledge, skills, and values required for advanced clinical work and research in music psychotherapy. The University of Dayton is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), and this distance learning degree program is approved by NASM and AMTA, thus ensuring excellence in curriculum, faculty, and student body.

The University recognizes that its success depends on how fully it values, engages, and includes the rich diversity of all members of the academic community. UD strives to uphold principles of diversity and inclusion in all facets of graduate education: admission, curriculum, instruction, and advising. The University actively avoids discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, genetic information, military status, veteran status, or familial status.

OUR FACULTY

The music therapy faculty at UD includes two full-time PhD-level professors, two full-time Master’s-level Lecturers, and several adjunct instructors. All faculty possess CBMT board-certification. Selected areas of clinical experience and expertise include: addictions, adjudicated adolescents, chronic mental illness, clinical improvisation, the Improvisation Assessment Profiles (Bruscia), intellectual and developmental disabilities, and trauma-informed treatment.

About the Curriculum

Candidates for the MMT degree will complete music therapy core requirements (18 semester hours), elective courses in music, music therapy, and related disciplines (15 semester hours), and a culminating thesis/creative project (3 semester hours).

The program is structured so that the typical full-time student can complete pre-thesis coursework in four semesters of study.

MUSIC THERAPY CORE

Core academic work is completed online during the fall and spring semesters, with two brief on-campus intensive training periods per semester for students enrolled in core courses. These courses address theoretical underpinnings of music psychotherapy, advanced clinical specializations and skills, music therapy education and supervision, and advanced research competencies.

One semester of supervised clinical experience (Advanced Practicum) may be arranged conveniently in or near the student’s place of residence, with a weekly, online group supervision meeting.

Unique curricular emphases include:

• Established and emerging theories and models of music psychotherapy (Analytical Music Therapy, The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, Vocal Psychotherapy, Creative Music Therapy, Queer Music Therapy, Resource-Oriented Music Therapy)
• Design and facilitation of therapeutic music experiences based on the four methods of music therapy and their variations (e.g., song discussion, music-assisted relaxation, song composition, clinical improvisation)
• Dynamics of music psychotherapy (e.g., transferences, countertransferences, resistances)
• Professional issues (e.g., ethics, business models, self-care, reflexivity)
• Cultural dynamics (e.g., therapist and client identities, impact of culture on therapeutic rapport and treatment processes)
• Current trends (e.g., new technologies, disability studies, medical ethnomusicology)
• Interpretivist (qualitative) research approaches and methods
