NEUROLOGIC MUSIC THERAPY TRAINING INSTITUTE
Twenty-Sixth International Training Institute
February 18-21, 2010
The
Center for Biomedical Research in Music (CBRM) at Colorado State University
invites you to attend the Twenty-Sixth International Training Institute in
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT).
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, 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. A certificate of completion in
advanced Neurologic Music Therapy training will be issued by CBRM.* Completion of the NMT training allows the board-certified
music therapist to practice and use the credential of NMT for three years. Completion of the NMT training does NOT allow
one to practice outside their professional licensure-training-certification
Training will begin at 8 am on Thursday morning and end at 11:15 on Sunday. Please make sure that your travel
arrangements allow you adequate time to get to/from the airport (a 1 ˝-2 hour
trip), as completion of the training in its entirety is expected to gain the
NMT credential and certificate.
