Master of Creative Music Therapy

Western Sydney University

Learn how to creatively apply your existing music skills therapeutically to meet the needs of individuals and groups, through improvisational (creating improvised music), re-creative (creatively using repertoire/songs), compositional (creating songs/music) and receptive (creative listening) music therapy methods. Engage in the on-site lectorials, (a dynamic integration of lecture & tutorial) one day per week during semester time, and additional online synchronous and asynchronous learning activities on the other days. In addition, you will experience a hands-on approach to developing your skills through our ‘Work Integrated Learning’ program that includes our innovative SiMPrac (Simulated Music Therapy Practicum) and Music Therapy Placements, which are provided flexibly as weekly or block placement modes, all under the professional supervision of Registered Music Therapists (RMTs).
