Students will engage with a music therapy clinical population with the intention of forming the ensemble, choosing and arranging the music, conducting the ensemble, and performing with the ensemble. The type of music chosen will depend on the needs of the clients and the clinical setting. Students must acquire 12 client-contact hours within the semester. Field Studies IV will culminate with a music therapy qualifying exam, used to evaluate functional musicianship, basic interview skills, and comprehensive knowledge of the music therapy professional competencies.
