Alumni in their own words - Nathan Loewen (CMBC '94)
Where has life taken you since you left CMU?
Today, I'm a professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama (UA). I moved to Alabama in 2013 and was hired by UA in 2015. I really enjoy working here! It's a very different context from Canada's that I've come to really enjoy. It's the perfect mix of nature and academia!
#myCMUlife | “Well… it depends…”: Four insights into studying music therapy at CMU
Four years ago, I had never heard of music therapy. Now, I can't imagine doing anything else.
In the fall of 2017, I was heading into the last year of my Bachelor of Music in piano at King's University in Edmonton, trying to figure out what to do afterwards. As I skimmed through a promotional brochure about what to do with a music degree, the words "music therapy" caught my eye. I was instantly intrigued. I remember phoning a music therapist to get more information. When I asked what a typical music therapy workday might look like, she replied with, "Well... it depends...." While I thought this answer was profoundly unhelpful in the moment, I've seen how true it is after studying music therapy at CMU.
