How can I get work experience as a Music therapist?

I’m currently in year 12 and would like to get a feel for what it would be like to work in this sector. If anyone has any websites or organisations they could send over that would be great :biggrin:
You might want to keep refreshing this page, in case the 'brief introduction' courses for 2023 are advertised and there are spaces: https://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk/training/short-courses/ .

I don't know whether it's possible to shadow a therapist for a week or so, but you could always write to Nordoff Robbins and ask :smile:

You may also wanna see if Live Music Now have anything in your area: https://www.livemusicnow.org.uk/ . (They're not strictly music therapy in the way Nordoff Robbins is, but still a good insight into this kinda work :smile: )

No worries! It's important to stress that you can't study music therapy as an undergrad degree - so even if you know that's what you're interested in, it'll be OK if you can't fix up any work experience before you submit your UCAS form :smile:
