Music Therapy CMTE & Other Courses:
The Anti-Oppressive (AOP) L.O.U.D Program

Course Overview: Self-Study- 14 CMTE Credits (3 for Ethics)

Learning about anti-oppressive practice requires a willingness to acknowledge inequity. Taking action and putting that knowledge into practice takes courage and accountability. This course is all about finding the courage to take action in the most authentic way possible. LOUD is an acronym for Learn and Lean In, Override discomfort, Use your voice to unify, and Determine your unique Call to Action. Let's get LOUD together! This opportunity fulfills 3 credits towards the CBMT ethics requirement.
