Senior music therapy students provide clinical services under the supervision of a faculty Board Certified Music Therapist. Our clients are very important to us and we strive to meet the individual needs of each person.
We have a limited number of spaces in our program, and are not attempting to compete with the strong private practices of local music therapists, whose information we will gladly provide upon request. We provide services during the academic school year of Eastern Michigan University when the students are available, for approximately 13 sessions each semester. Each client may be observed by other students or taped for training purposes.
We have a sliding scale for fees to partially cover the costs of the center. These fees are less than would be charged by a private practitioner. We will leave the choice of amount up to each family, based on what you think you can reasonably afford. We require payment in advance, either the full 13 session payment initially, or in three installments over the period of the first four weeks, with one due the first session.
Sessions are from 30 to 60 minutes in length, depending on the clinical needs and tolerance of each client, and with client input on availability and preferences. Usually younger clients have shorter sessions. Our session times are currently Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 4 p.m. and Wednesdays after 3 p.m.
If you are interested in your family member receiving music therapy services at Eastern Michigan’s Music Therapy Center, or would like a copy of the sliding fee scale, please email Roberta Justice at rjustice@emich.edu or call 734.637.4354.
The Music Therapy Program works with the EMU Autism Collaborative Center.
