Description
This 3-credit hour course introduces 18 different music based games that can be adapted and applied to many different clinical settings. Participants will be given examples of how to apply these games through templates, demonstrations, and discussions. Through this course, participants will learn how to utilize client preferred music, build rapport, and minimize planning time.
