Why should you be sure to hire a Board-Certified Music Therapist to serve your clients?
Because the MT-BC credential ensures that the music therapist you hire to work with your clients or patients has the right to work within the scope of practice outlined by the CBMT (Certification Board for Music Therapists) and has passed the board certification exam measuring skills, knowledge and abilities necessary to competently practice in the field of music therapy. This certification also ensures consumer protection for the public.
Music can no longer be considered a passive listening activity . . . we know too much about the brain . . . there is always some neural network being developed as a result of experiencing music. A music Therapist knows how to target the development and support of desired neural networks.
