In partnership with VISI, the third annual Music Therapy Symposium for Children and Youth was held Saturday, June 4, 2011 at the Roy Barnett Recital Hall at UBC. Eight music therapists from Victoria, Edmonton, Kamloops, Pender Island and the Lower Mainland presented their “golden” intervention and a therapeutic song to fifty participants. Beautiful raffle prizes went home with eight lucky winners, and Music Therapy Suite was on hand with musical instruments and relevant books

It was refreshing to learn something from my specific area.

Enjoyed the variety of presenters and range of ideas. Wonderful selection of presentation topics. Really enjoyed the incredible number of ideas.
I was totally blown away by how effective it could be with kids. I never thought of adapting GIM with kids!

Each presentation gave me valuable insights for upcoming practicum and any further improvement as a therapist.
