Expand Your Toolkit - using music within your own scope of practise.

Who Are We?

The Music Therapy Academy provides clinical supervision, education, and practical training for professionals who want to use music intentionally and ethically in healthcare settings.

We offer on-demand and live webinars that translate music therapy theory and research into clear, usable strategies you can apply within your own scope of practice. Our programs support music therapists, psychotherapists, counsellors, speech-language pathologists, physiotherapists, and others interested in the therapeutic applications of music.

Beyond education, the Music Therapy Academy is committed to advancing the field through ongoing research, advocacy, and the promotion of best practices in music-based care.
