What education is required to become an art or music therapist? What does a typical day look like in these fields?
I was wondering what education is required to become a music or art therapist. Is there a scholarship available for either? Also, would it be possible to combine both into one experience and can you only do one at a time? I would like to do both at the same time because I like both art and music and find it interesting that I can use things that I love to help other people.
Should I major in music therapy with a piano performance minor, or major in music therapy and then get a masters in piano performance from a more prestigious school?
My future career goal is to primarily be a music therapist and private music instructor, but I would also like to be a professional concert pianist, perhaps touring every summer or every other summer with a few gigs throughout the year. Technically, the only degree I need is a music therapy degree, but would a minor be necessary? Or possibly I could just major in music therapy and then maybe get a piano performance masters if I decide afterwards that I need one? Also then what college should I go to? I have met with a professional opera singer from the Met, and he emphasized connections in college and how important it is to have a recognized teacher, but I am having trouble deciding.
Any advice for a person who wants to go to music therapy college??
I'm a 19 year old and I would like to go to apply for a music therapy degree and start studying in October 2023 in Vienna. What are some important things I should know? Like for example about the entrance exams or about the studies in general? I would be very grateful to read your feedback.
