I am so excited to finally share part of my product for my senior capstone project on music therapy and the lack of state licensure of music therapy in NC! This project has been a joy and privilege to complete this year- I have volunteered with the Wake Forest Abilities Choir, observed music therapy with multiple populations at Queens University of Charlotte and in the Chapel Hill school system. I have also been writing articles and reaching out to publications for the advocacy efforts needed to occur before lobbying with state legislators. I want to thank my wonderful mentor Martine Bullard, a music therapist and co-chair of the NC MT Task Force (who are leading the efforts to have music therapy licensed by the state of NC) for all of her help and guidance during this process. State licensure is very important and needs to occur to protect patients, help with insurance coverage, and greatly help music therapists with job opportunities. If you want to read one of my articles, it has been published in the Wake Weekly! Feel free to share with musicians and medical/healthcare professionals who may be interested- the word needs to get out to help this wonderful profession become licensed.
