Practice Music Therapy without Searching for Opportunities
One of the things we hear from Music Therapists is this:
I love what I do; I just hate the process of finding a facility interested in my programs. If only someone else could do the cold calling and contract negotiation so that I can focus on connecting with people through music.
Sound familiar?
At Melisma Music Therapy Services we do the set up work for you. We'll:
- Connect and build relationships with long term and elderly care facilities to determine need and contract for music therapy programs.
- Provide therapists with a variety of options:
- One-on-one
- Group sessions
- Part time in one location
- Part time in multiple locations
- Provide on-going training and program options so you have the latest information and tolls available.
As the Music Therapist you can customize and create the right programs for the residents as you see fit. Use your strengths and experience to your advantage by customizing the programs that you enjoy and residents respond to the most.
Melisma Music Therapy will continue to be a valuable resource however, building the music therapy program within your contracted facility is up to you.
What if I don't have everything I need?
As a board-certified music therapist just getting started, you may be missing a few of the necessary components to get started.
Need equipment? We'll offer a list of vendors that provide quality products and materials at a reasonable price.
Don't have liability insurance yet? Not a problem. Melisma Music Therapy can recommend a few companies that you can contact to find the necessary insurance to protect your business.
We also have a Music Therapy blog that is updated with music ideas and the latest information in our industry. Visit our blog often for continually updated information.
Prelude to Coda is a wonderful resource and is easily available on line. Author, certified therapist and president of Melisma Music Therapy, Kathy Lindberg, penned this great resource to help therapists in the creative realm think through all that is necessary to create and build a successful business.
