Voices - The Gathering

Abstract

Soon music therapists will be gathering again for another World Congress of Music Therapy, this time in Oxford, UK. Each time these gatherings become more and more exciting. It is good that the numbers of music therapists around the world keep increasing. But the exciting aspect of these International gatherings, for me, is the opportunity to experience the tremendous diversity, which is also growing each year. More and more countries are learning about music therapy and setting up training programs for music therapists. And the organizers of the Oxford conference are creating an event that is very respectful of this diversity and one that will provide many opportunities for cross-cultural exchanges.
