What participants in MAR Passages
had to say...
“Thank you so much for bringing this to our region. It was a wonderful opportunity for beginning music therapists to come together and learn. I cannot wait for the next year.”
“I’m still just researching this field as a possible one and this was very informative/inspiring. The sheer passion and dedication of those in the profession is obvious. It is extra special to see young people lead the discussion.”
“A real place to gather and just be with others at the same level.”
“I felt like I not only learned a lot but I also felt such a sense of support and excitement to meet and see my colleagues.”
“I had a chance to listen to new professionals, their triumphs and failures and their fields of study. [It] opened more doors.”
“This conference is fun on an ideal scale. A great variety of stuff going on but very user friendly and warm. Thanks so much!”
