Hi, As Xhris stated, there is a growing need for music therapists with the older population. The medical field is also booming for music therapy. I am currently a music therapy major at the University of Dayton and love my courses. Feel free to write me off-list with any questions you might have. I can also answer questions you might have on using Goodfeel to complete coursework.
