About this Unit
This unit focuses on the delivery of music therapy to infants, children and adolescents with various approaches and settings being explored across the semester.

An introduction to music therapy research, with particular attention to writing a literature review, is included. The Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) standards of practice are overviewed and explored through active group work.
