Winter Symposium
Arizona Music Therapists and Friends,
Couldn’t make the AMTA National conference? Need help with your guitar skills? Want to hang out with other music therapists and re-connect? Then come to the AZMTA Winter Symposium. It will be all about getting our guitars to sound better. Whether you are pretty good, not so good, dealing with the pain of growing older, or just looking for some new sounds, you will find something useful here.
The symposium will take place on Saturday, December 3rd at the new and improved music therapy clinic group rooms (in the basement) at the ASU Community Services building. If you haven’t been down yet, now will be the perfect time to do so!
If you are a music therapist, after the symposium you will receive a certificate that you can use to self report for continuing education.
