Music Therapy PA State Task Force

Music Therapy harnesses the power of music to help people heal and improve their overall quality of life.

Pennsylvania is fortunate to have colleges like West Chester University with outstanding music therapy programs; however, without a professional music therapy license in the state, many students leave the state after graduation to pursue their careers in states that offer licensure.

I was glad to gather with music therapists, teachers, and advocates to discuss the importance of music therapy and why licensure will help improve our well-being and keep our students in Pennsylvania after they graduate. I am glad to work with my colleagues Senator Vogel and Rep. Pashinski on legislation that establishes a professional music therapy license here in the Commonwealth.
