Culture of experiential training in Germany

Monika Nöcker-Ribaupierre directs a private music therapy training programme in Munich (acknowledged by the German professional association BVM ), lectures at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, and is an active member of several professional scientific boards. Her main interest lies in the development of professi- onal music therapy programmes and standards in the European countries. As Secretary General of the EMTC she is working in particular to support countries in the Eastern part of Europe, to establish music therapy at the required Bologna level. - Why am I talking about our culture of experiential music therapy training (EMT) in our training courses in Germany? When Connie Izenberg, Chair of the WFMT Commission on Education and Training, proposed the topic of culture in music therapy, Thomas Wosch and I discussed it and we decided that this subject, in particular, plays a significant role in our field of music therapy. peerReviewed publishedVersion
