Announcing the 2011 MHTP Module Camps
The "Camps" have become an alternative way to take MHTP classes that students really enjoy. They take place at a residential camp or retreat center in the midst of nature. Two Modules are offered at each Camp in 5 days, and students may take one or both of the Modules offered.
We will be offering West Coast Camps and East Coast Camps in New York at Pumpkin Hollow Retreat Center. Watch the Newsletter and Class Schedule for the dates.

Our Vision:
The Music for Healing & Transition Program (MHTP) trains and certifies musicians to provide live therapeutic music, which creates healing environments for the ill and/or dying and all who may benefit. We recognize music as a therapeutic enhancement to the healing process and the life/death transition. Our graduates are Certified Music Practitioners (CMP) ®. We collaborate with healthcare facilities and community organizations to educate about, and promote research in, the effectiveness of therapeutic music.
