Where We Work
Music as Therapy International originally worked only in Romania. Our roots will always lie there and we have an ongoing commitment to invest 15% of our resources into futher developing music therapy with our Local Partners all around Romania. For more information on our work in Romania, click here.
However, in recent years we have found more and more music therapists are getting involved in overseas work in unusual contexts and they have often been interested to learn from our experiences. This has led us to expand our remit beyond solely working in Romania. In the past year music therapists working in Rwanda, Bethlehem and Palestine, Slovenia, Bosnia i Herzegovina, Uganda, Sudan, India, Georgia and Belarus were in touch with us for different levels of consultancy or information sharing.

In 2009 we have been delighted to form a partnership with a team working in Bethlehem and in October 2009 we will be working with music therapist Claire Tillotson, Canon Paul Miller and SOS Children's Village Bethlehem to deliver a six-week Introductory Music Therapy Training Project to staff at the SOS Children's Village. After six weeks of training staff will be left with the musical instruments, skills, experience and confidence they need to run a music programme to benefit those children traumatised by the effects of war.
