Does a Masters in Music Therapy require bachelors therapy?

Yes, most Master of Music Therapy (MMT) programs require applicants to have a bachelor's degree in music therapy or a related field, such as music education. Some programs may also accept applicants with a bachelor's degree in a different field, but these students may be required to take additional coursework in music therapy to meet the program's requirements.

The Council for Accreditation of Music Therapy Education (CAMTE) is the accrediting body for music therapy programs in the United States. CAMTE-accredited programs must meet certain standards, including requiring applicants to have a bachelor's degree in music therapy or a related field.

In addition to the academic requirements, many MMT programs also require applicants to have clinical experience working with clients in a music therapy setting. The amount of clinical experience required varies from program to program, but it is typically between 600 and 1,000 hours.

If you are interested in pursuing a Master of Music Therapy degree, it is important to research the programs you are considering to make sure that you meet the admissions requirements. You can find information about CAMTE-accredited programs on the CAMTE website.
