CMU News Release | December 2016
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.
Despite my previous research about music therapy, CMU's program was more than I ever could have expected. Definitions of music therapy and course descriptions failed to show me how difficult, rewarding, diverse, and fulfilling it would be to study music therapy at CMU. Therefore, to anyone curious about music therapy or considering CMU's program, I offer four insights into what this transformative experience is actually like.
While the Assiniboine Castle on the north side of the CMU campus now hosts academic courses such as "Doing Peace: From Theory to Practice" and "Biblical Perspectives on Peace and Justice," its history reveals that the building served a very different purpose during times of conflict.
What does the new Anabaptist Community Bible have to offer? Jonas tries his hand at selling Bibles (to himself), even though it's admittedly been some time since he read one.
