6 Blog Posts About Music Therapy - Written by Music Therapists!
In 2023, the World Federation of Music Therapy (WFMT) transitioned from a single day of recognition of music therapy, previously held on March 1st, to a week-long celebration. Now held annually, April 10-15 is World Music Therapy Week (WMTW). In a post on the WFMT website, they explained the goal of WMTW:
