Certificate in Music Therapy

Program Overview

In Acadia University’s School of Music, we believe an undergraduate school of music in a liberal university should be more of a laboratory than a conservatory. We strive to create versatile, confident, and well-rounded musicians who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Our foundational curriculum is based on making music in multiple environments. It combines courses in the following:

  • music theory
  • music history and culture
  • musicianship skills
  • keyboard skills
  • improvisation
  • composition
  • intensive ensembles

Our courses are taught in a creative way, with outcomes geared for contemporary musicians. The aim is to graduate well-rounded musicians who can thrive in a variety of professional contexts and styles. Our program also strives to create connections to community. We will teach you how to build and facilitate the cultural spaces you will be part of. Performances happen across campus in the many halls and venues of Acadia. You can even learn in our world-class Electroacoustic Music Studio.

All School of Music degrees offer you the chance for individual lessons to establish strong technical and artistic foundations. Our classroom courses, ensemble opportunities, and major artistic projects ensure that students can function as contemporary artists across genres. In fact, our applied lessons structure even affords you the opportunity to study more than one instrument at a time through your degree. This can be an exciting thing for any multi-instrumentalist (such as a singer/songwriter) who wishes to continue growing in multiple ways.

Are you interested in music therapy? Acadia offers the only Music Therapy Program in Eastern Canada. You will begin in the Bachelor of Music degree. Your first step is to successfully complete the two-year School of Music core. Then you may apply to enter the Bachelor of Music Therapy degree. Specialized courses in music therapy include hands-on clinical practicums and courses in psychology. Once you have graduated and completed a 1,000-hour internship, you can earn the Music Therapist Accredited (MTA) designation. If you have already completed a degree in music, the Certificate in Music Therapy is designed for you. This post-graduate program is a 30-credit certificate that also leads to the MTA designation.
