User Reviews

The session plans that I can use were very helpful.

Adam Krajnikconde | June 2018

Thank you for these amazing CMTEs! I really enjoy the ability to complete them from home - they are also such a great jumping off point for refreshing my repertoire for group sessions!

Lindsey Suedkamp Griffith | April 2017

I appreciate learning about the structure of the sessions and having access to so many session plans and ideas.

Jessica Johnson has a beautiful voice. It reminds me of Colbie Caillat. I also bought Group Music Therapy Interventions Working in Neurologic Rehabilitation by Rebecca Vaudreuil and am very impressed with both books. Thanks again for providing such great products.
