<p>My cousin has a Bachelor’s in music therapy and masters in music education from a state flagship with strong music therapy program, did advanced Orff Schulwerk training and got a PhD at a large research U where she was received funding. She continues to perform on her principal instrument and is assistant professor of music at a public liberal arts university. She is very pleased with her career and happy to have no debt! All of her education and her current position are located in the same area of the country (3 adjoining states) which I think made a difference.</p>
