I looked into music therapy several years ago for my daughter. She was an elementary ed major with a music concentration, not a music education major because she didn’t want to teach music, she wanted to be a special ed teacher. She could have done a grad program but she would only have gotten credit for a couple of her college classes. The program we looked at was an online program that would have required her to spend about two weeks over 2 summers and a long weekend or two on campus. Ultimately, she decided not to pursue the advanced degree because she left teaching but she still works with some private special ed students and she uses a lot of music with them. One little boy, who is visually and physically impaired, loves to play his tiny ukulele, which is helping with his fine motor skills and his hand eye coordination.
