About MHTP

The founders of MHTP had a clear vision for the Program they were creating. The objectives of the Music for Healing and Transition Program are charitable and educational, and include: Serving the ill and dying with live music to facilitate and promote healing or assist in the life/death transition; Teaching the professional practice of this service; Establishing centers for education all over the United States; Publishing information, research findings and other material about this unique profession; Developing affiliations with healing, charitable and educational organizations where this service may be provided by Certified Music Practitioners (CMP) ™.

MHTP instructors are Certified Music Practitioners (CMP's) ™ and/or highly trained specialists in their field. Those who are CMPs have an active independent therapeutic music practice in their hometown locations. A specifically trained and dedicated instructor is provided for each module.

MHTP received its non-profit status in 1995. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation exclusively for charitable, literary, and educational purposes, funded from tuition and donations.

Our Vision:

The Music for Healing & Transition Program (MHTP) professionally 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.
