This training is open to allied professionals who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of neurologic music therapy (NMT) and music therapists interested in utilizing NMT methodology and techniques.

Neurologic Music Therapy is defined as the therapeutic application of music to cognitive, sensory, and motor function due to neurologic disease of the human nervous system. Neurologic Music Therapy is research-based. Its treatment techniques are based on the scientific knowledge in music perception and production and the effects thereof on nonmusical brain and behavior functions. Populations served by Neurologic Music Therapists include, but are not limited to: stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, cerebral palsy, developmental disorders, Alzheimer's disease, autism, and other neurological diseases affecting cognition, movement, and communication (e.g., MS, Muscular Dystrophy, etc). The 4-day, 30-hour workshop will provide therapists with advanced clinical training and scientific knowledge in the field of NMT. Upon completion of this course, participants will:

1. Be able to demonstrate a basic definition and introductory knowledge about neurologic music therapy (NMT), including the taxonomy of techniques used in NMT;
2. Demonstrate an increased knowledge of current research supporting NMT techniques;
3. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the Transformational Design Model; a model to assist in treatment selection based on functional goals;
4. Identify current clinical assessments that can be used by NMT’s for treatment evaluation;
5. Be able to answer basic neuroanatomy and pathology questions related to a variety of neurologic disorders.

Upon successful completion of this course and a written test, a certificate of completion in advanced Neurologic Music Therapy training will be issued by the Robert F. Unkefer Academy for Neurologic Music Therapy.  Completion of the NMT training allows the board-certified music therapist to practice and use the credential of NMT for three years.  This training is open to other students and professionals outside of the field of music therapy, however, completion of the NMT training does NOT allow one to practice outside their professional licensure-training-certification.  There are no required prerequisites to take this training.

Training will begin at 9 am on the first day and end at noon on the last day.  Please make sure that your travel arrangements allow you adequate time to get to/from the airport, as completion of the training in its entirety is expected to gain the NMT credential and certificate.

Songwriting can be a powerful intervention to help clients express emotions, build connection, make meaning, and communicate their life experiences to others. When implementing therapeutic songwriting, there are many considerations in shaping experiences to best meet the client’s needs including the level of freedom or support, songwriting methods and techniques, and the importance of both the process and product of the song. In this workshop-style CMTE course, attendees will learn and practice a range of songwriting methods and techniques that will assist in building their use of this intervention within their own practice.

Presenter: Stephan Betz, PhD, MT-BC

This course teaches participants to use evidence-based screenings, assessments and treatments for trauma-based symptomatology. On the backdrop of the history of trauma-responsive treatment and building trauma-informed communities, participants understand the opportunities for music therapy to fulfill the non-verbal interventions needed to enable clients to cope with trauma triggers and minimize their impact. A differential diagnosis approach based on the neurobiology of trauma will teach participants which critical questions to ask in interdisciplinary team meetings to make music activities relevant interventions for the team. In particular, the course will demonstrate how narrative exposure therapy can be enhanced through musical activities. In addition, a detailed analysis of Dr. Carrion’s (Stanford Univ.) cue-centered therapy will enable participating music therapists to adopt cue-centered interventions in their existing music therapy practice. Trauma-informed diagnoses and treatments discussed range from Narcissistic Personality Disorder to Addiction and Dissociative Identity Disorder, including of customized music therapy interventions to fit the various courses of treatment for these disorders.
