In many countries and cultures in Africa, music has formed part of healing rituals since the beginning of time – Africa knows that music heals. In South Africa, music therapy is a fairly young, but very dynamic profession. There are approximately 30 registered music therapists in South Africa, working in different contexts ranging from private practice to community settings. The University of Pretoria offers the only Music Therapy training program in the form of a 2 year post graduate degree. Completion of this Masters degree leads to registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. For more information on the training programme, you can visit the University of Pretoria’s website at www.up.ac.za
The South African Network for Arts Therapies Organisation (SANATO) will be hosting a seminar from the 29th-31st May 2009. The seminar will be hosted by SANATO Gauteng at the University of Pretoria. All Arts Therapists in South Africa are invited to intend. The theme for the seminar is “Tapping the Field.” The Music Therapy training program at the University of Pretoria will also be celebrating its 10th anniversary. I will be posting more details as it becomes available.
