QUESTION 1 OF 35

When did you realize you wanted to be a music therapist?

The interviewer wants to hear when and why you decided to become a music therapist. They want to learn more about you and your personality and what motivates and inspires you. It might be that you know someone in this field, a guidance counselor or professor encouraged you to become a music therapist, or you or a loved one benefitted from music therapy. Share your story about realizing you wanted to enter this profession.

"I realized I wanted to be a music therapist when I saw the benefits music therapy provided to my younger brother who is autistic. My brother was non-verbal before being introduced to music therapy, and since he started, he now says a few words and lights up when music is played. He has become much calmer with music therapy, and he loves when I play my guitar for him. I decided I wanted to help others like my brother has been helped."
