President's Challenge

AMTAS President's Challenge

The AMTAS President’s Challenge was started as a way for music therapy students to show support for the field and to thank the professionals who have shown support for the students throughout the years. This year, the AMTAS Executive Board is challenging the regional presidents of AMTAS to bring small items that would be useful for a music therapy practice, such as books, CD's, or small musical instruments to the AMTA Conference of 2021. These items will then be given to the winner of the President’s Challenge to help them start a music therapy practice/program or to supplement a current practice/program.
