Student Paulien about the minor Music Therapy

Paulien Backer is studying classical clarinet at Codarts and is now in her fourth year of the bachelor. She chose to do the minor Introduction to Music Therapy. This is what she says about it:

“I've always been interested in the effects of music on the brain and this minor fits well with that. I am also curious to learn how music can help people.

This minor made me realise that I can study music therapy. I really enjoy working with music in a different way because of this minor. Furthermore, it gives an insight into other functions of music.

I would definitely recommend the minor to other students! It is very informative, and you even might find out that music therapy is for you. Besides that, it is also very interesting to discover what music can bring and how much music can help on all kinds of levels.”
