"Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program." |
Statement from AMTAS President:
As President of the American Music Therapy Association for Students (AMTAS), I am honored to reflect on the journey that brings us to 2024. AMTAS began humbly with a group of students and a simple newsletter aimed at connecting music therapy schools across the nation. From those modest beginnings, we have grown to proudly encompass over 85 music therapy programs, serving as a beacon of inspiration for students dedicated to advancing our community, education, and profession.
As we look back on the challenges of recent years, including the global pandemic, civil unrest, international conflicts, and the constraints placed on us by external forces, we recognize the resilience and strength of our community. In the face of adversity, we have held space for reflection, growth, and solidarity, honoring the past while steadfastly moving forward. In 2024, our focus remains unwaveringly on our student community. We are committed to serving them to the highest capacity possible, providing support, resources, and opportunities for growth. Our mission to promote, foster, and advance the education and training of our members is more important than ever as we navigate an ever-changing landscape. Together, we will continue to build a future where music therapy is recognized and valued for its transformative power. With dedication, passion, and unity, we will shape the path forward, ensuring that AMTAS remains a beacon of excellence and inspiration for generations to come. - Sydney Winders, MT-BC AMTAS President [email protected] |
