MusicWorx is a California S corporation that provides contracted music therapy services to corporations, educational institutions, health care providers, and wellness organizations in the greater San Diego area.
MusicWorx also provides fee-based consulting and guest speaking services to groups, nationally and internationally.
And MusicWorx is an American Music Therapy Association-approved clinical training site, a privilege granted to fewer than 200 training facilities worldwide. In this capacity, MusicWorx annually provides to each of eight exceptional interns a six-month opportunity to practice a wide variety of music therapy techniques in real clinical settings. Interns accepted into the program are college music therapy majors who are completing their coursework requirements prior to taking the music therapy national board certification exam.
