Music Therapy Program
The establishment of the music therapy program in the 1950's and the on-campus Music Therapy Clinic in the 1970's is in keeping with Western Michigan University's long standing commitment to providing training in health-related disciplines. One of the first accredited programs in the nation, the music therapy program includes training at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. WMU's music therapy program is fully approved by the American Music Therapy Association.
The music therapy program provides community services both in the Music Therapy Clinic located in Dalton Center on WMU's campus and through its affiliation with over 30 medical, educational, and health-related agencies in the greater Kalamazoo area.
In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the the Music Therapy Program, Dr. Daniel Levitin (author of "This is your brain on music") will be visiting our campus on October 10, 2008. Dr. Levitin will be giving a public lecture in the Dalton Recital Hall at 7:30pm. On Saturday, October 11, several distinguished alumni and former faculty members will be on campus in conjunction with the annual fall meeting of Michigan Music Therapists.
