No. In fact, medical doctors, nurses, physical/speech/occupational therapists, social workers, teachers, psychologists, and more can benefit from our courses. Our classes are open to the public. However, taking a course does not fulfill the requirements for becoming a music therapist or practicing music therapy. In the US, the Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT) regulates our board certification. Contact CBMT for more information on becoming a music therapist.
