Students and interns, take a look at the Music Therapy Observation List. The purpose of this music therapy observation list is to be a resource for students and interns who are seeking an opportunity to observe a board-certified music therapist in practice. The music therapists listed have indicated that they are willing and able to have student observers. This list is for limited time observation opportunities only, NOT for practicum or internship placements.
