Music Therapy Program Director:
Shannon del'Etoile, Ph.D., MT-BCThe purpose of the University of Miami Music Therapy Program is to prepare professional music therapists to work with individuals of all ages and in a variety of conditions. The undergraduate curriculum includes a well-rounded background in music (music theory, music literature, and performance), humanities, and social sciences, as well as courses and practical experiences in music therapy from the first semester of enrollment. This early emphasis on professional, clinical, music-based therapy provides the student with opportunities to view and explore traditional, new, and alternative music therapy practices. Particular attention is given to the personal growth process of each student, and students may choose the approach which best fits their abilities and personal philosophy.
Music therapists typically seek employment in hospitals, psychiatric facilities, nursing homes, prisons, training schools and centers for persons with mental, emotional, and physical impairments, public schools, personal growth centers, and pain, rehabilitation and wellness centers. Students within the UM Music Therapy Program complete their clinical practicum at a wide variety of sites, including the world-renowned Jackson Memorial Hospital. Music therapy graduates have enjoyed a job placement rate of virtually 100% in recent years.
