Celebrating AMTAS Passages (SEPTEMBER 2024)

Are you a student who is looking for community and involvement in the AMTA universe? Do you want to learn more about relevant music therapy topics and connect with leaders in the student community? Feeling unsure about how you can access these resources and materials? Don’t worry, AMTAS has an amazing event that can help you reach your music therapy and personal goals. 

This year AMTAS will be hosting our 2024 passages entitled “Soulful Sounds: Exploring our Passion for Music Therapy,” on October 19th and 26th.  Our event is crafted by students and for students. The purpose of this program is to virtually connect, share, and celebrate our journeys within the music therapy community and field. “Soulful Sounds,” aims to highlight lived experiences and explore our passion for music therapy. Through various events and interactive sessions and student presentations such as an internship fair, virtual coffee fair, and inspiring keynote, AMTAS aims to foster a supportive community for students, interns, and professionals. 

“Soulful Sounds,” is also an opportunity to become involved and aware of the current AMTAS processes. We will have two student business meetings where attendees can vote on bylaws updates, new board members, and make their voice heard on important issues. Students should attend if they are looking for a supportive and open space to better understand and be involved in AMTAS.

AMTAS encourages all music therapy students to attend “Soulful Sounds” to foster passion and equitable education in both their individual and communal spaces.
