User Reviews

Thank you for the certificate and for the kind words about the mandalas. I enjoyed that portion immensely, and it really caused me to think deeply into some things, which was such a cool bonus of learning the material!

Lindsey Fila, MT-BC | November 2021

Great course! Informative, helpful and organized presentation of material.The information related to how to integrate humming, toning/toning bowls and chanting activities into my session was most useful.

Michael Timmons, MT-BC | October 2019

Books are very helpful to reference in different situations. I love the format that is easy to read and comprehend, Different activities solidified what I learned in the book.

Trina Pope, MT-BC | September 2019

Excellent course and with very helpful and relevant content.

Diane Coll, EdD, LPC, MT-BC | December 2017

I don't have any suggestions for improvement. The material and learning experiences in the course were rich and have given me many fresh ideas.

Molly Hicks, MT-BC | July 2017

The Integrative Medicine Settings Music-Centered Wellness course gave ample ideas and variations of sessions to utilize with my patients. I really like the material / information on drumming, toning, and improvisation, as these are areas where I am not as confident. Thank you for creating these Toolbox CMTEs! This is my first one, and I look forward to ordering more. My soul, spirit, and well-being have been touched and restored. I feel motivated and rejuvenated as a music therapist!

Lindsey Griffith, MA MT–BC | May 2013

I enjoyed being introduced to interventions that I have not used before. The sessions were clearly formatted. I was able to complete course on my own pace. The course boosted my confidence with wellness/relaxation practices in music therapy sessions.

Thanks very much for getting the certificates back to me so quickly! I appreciate it. Now I'm ready to re-certify—what a relief! I'm sure you know how expensive almost all of the other courses are out there—whether home study or not. The affordability of your courses are a huge blessing to people like me! Yours are fun to take. So hopefully you will make a few more before I begin thinking about re-certification again. Thank you so much!

Roxanne Simmons, MT–BC | June 2011

Barbara . . . the Toolbox is here . . . yay and thanks. It's perfect (of course). The intro to music therapy section literally follows what I had in mind to do. I will create my Power Point presentation and a few alternative or extra tools in terms of handouts / worksheets (stuff I've used over the years and am comfy with in structure). When it's all done, I'll send it to you as an attachment for a look-see. Among all the CDs gathering dust in my collection was the Tune-the-Brain one . . . go figure. Thanks again for this wonderful and practical resource . . . stuff we do but never have time to write out and fix in some manner that doesn't destroy the in-the-moment creative process with the people we are presenting to. Yay!
