MUSIC, SOUND, & HEALING (9 HOURS)
This class is the exploration and experience of the basic physics of sound and music, its effect upon the human body, the anatomy and physiology of the human perception of sound, and multi-cultural approaches to the use of music for healing the human being. Students will learn historical uses of music as a healing art, review the basic elements of music, and how these elements can be used for healing body, mind, and spirit.
PARADIGMS OF HEALING (6 HOURS)
This class is an exploration of the scope of practice, methods, and attitudes of both complementary and conventional medical paradigms that CMPs are likely to encounter as they interact with their patients. Students will understand how practice as a therapeutic musician fits into the wide spectrum of the healing arts. Students will learn how to understand and how to find current music research to form a logical and persuasive justification for this work. Students will also understand how the Certified Music Practitioner can support and enhance healing in our conventional medical system.
PRE-WORK FOR MODULE 3
Students are required to watch The Mystery of Chi➚ and complete a review quiz, which should be brought to class.
Read the required book from the Module 3 list in the MHTP Handbook.
If this is your first module, then you will also be contacted by your advisor to be welcomed to the program and given additional information to prepare.
