Warm greetings to everyone for the new year!
Isn't it such an exciting time to be a music therapist? This group of professionals is always busy: advocates, business owners, creative, dynamic, educators, the list is not easily exhausted! So it is not surprising that there are novel ideas to be exchanged, tested, and researched, as well as events cooking. Do stay tuned for upcoming events, building to the 2014 World Congress in Krems, Austria!
Heads up
- •February 5-6, 2013 Early Child Music Therapy Seminar (Java, Indonesia)
- For information and registration, please email terapimusikuph@gmail.com
To share some of the excitement, I thought it would be interesting to summarize recent highlights around the Western Pacific region and the neighborhood. This list is by no means comprehensive; if there is additional or updated information, please email westernpacific@wfmt.info
