Dear Students

We are excited to welcome you to the student section of the World Federation of Music Therapy!

We believe that students are valuable and essential components of the WFMT, as we are the next generation of professionals, academics and leaders in the field of music therapy!

The Assembly of Student Delegates (ASD) therefore aims to connect music therapy students worldwide in order to create a network of passionate new therapists; provide spaces for knowledge exchange between students; and, amplify student voices and perspectives within the WFMT and beyond.

The ASD also functions as the link between the WFMT Council and student members of the organization. Please feel free to contact the student representative in your region, the Executive Assistant or any WFMT Council Member/Regional Liaison if you have any questions or ideas - we always love to hear from you! We hope you will join us and contribute to our projects as we aim to inspire future professionals and leaders in our field.

Discover more about the History of the ASD!

And this is how and where you can follow and connect with us:


The WFMT Student Blog, ‘Window To The World’ was created to provide music therapy students a platform to share their internship, research, study experiences and/or personal stories connected to music therapy. As the blog aims to represent a great variety of experiences, everybody (e.g. YOU!) is invited to contribute - 500 word limit! All languages are welcome and blogs will be posted in the original language accompanied by an English translation.


See you on
Instagram, in emails and in Bologna for the 18th World Congress of Music Therapy in July 2026

With love & enthusiasm,
