Converse college has a great program that  just started including music therapy on a humanitarian mission to Haiti.  I love seeing the collaboration between art therapy and music therapy that took place during this service and learning trip!


If you have been following Music Makes Sense in 2011, then you know that I have been exploring the combined and compatible use of music therapy with art therapy.  (Check out these posts for more details).


I really liked how they used the iPad and percussion activities to bridge the culture gap and engage the people in therapy.  Kudos to the music therapy program at Converse!
