American Music Therapy Association

Country music is now so diverse that one person’s preferred country music is not always another’s. This workshop addresses the need for music therapy students, clinicians, and educators to understand the popularity and diversity of country music, due to its mass appeal and high preference among clients. Topics covered include historical roots, milestone periods, guitar techniques, and experiential playing of material. Come and join our experienced instructors and players in our “Bunk House Band" as we explore the eras of country from 1923 to 2013. Bring a guitar and a pick. Some guitars may be available.
