Endowed Music Therapy Field Training Fund Established
A Berklee music therapy student works with a young patient.
“Music therapy has many dimensions in Berklee’s curriculum development and in career opportunities for our students,” Taggart notes. “Berklee’s partnerships with a growing number of Boston-area medical institutions, university research, and social service organizations are leading to promising student field work placements and significant potential for collaborative faculty-student research initiatives.”
Taggart and Turner provided substantial initial funding to create the endowment. As an incentive for other donors to step forward and support it, Taggart and Turner have offered to match gifts from additional contributors up to a total of $150,000. The Endowed Music Therapy Field Training Fund promises to offer Berklee students the important professional training they need to launch their careers in music therapy and supports clinical music therapy services for a variety of populations.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the Endowed Music Therapy Field Training Fund should contact Davis Wimberly at dwimberly@berklee.edu.
