QUESTION 23 OF 35

What is your primary instrument?

Music therapists must display competence on several musical instruments: voice, piano, guitar, and percussion. In addition to those four key instruments, Music therapists also must have a primary, or major, instrument they play. The interviewer wants to hear what instrument you have as your major instrument to determine what abilities you will bring to their organization if hired.

"My primary instrument is the flute. I learned how to play the flute in fourth grade, and it has been my favorite instrument to play ever since."
