Supplementary education documents and resources available throughout each module for experiential learning. 

Discover a variety of new ways to refine, enhance and take your clinical guitar playing to the next level. Aaron will make the practical, musical and theoretical case for the guitar as an essential and quintessential instrument for facilitating music therapy experiences, and will guide you toward greater confidence and musicianship on the instrument. The concept of “groove-based” music therapy will be introduced, with practical movement and musical exercises, By the conclusion of this workshop, participants will feel that they have new tools, ideas and musical, guitar-based concepts in their “tool kit” to use in music therapy sessions almost immediately. Begin to “think like a guitar player” and come up with musical ideas that could only be conceived of by musicians familiar with the guitar.
