Black Music Therapists' Collection
This platform contains collections of published and unpublished literature and multimedia/digital resources by members of the Black music therapy community along with relevant topics that affirm Black personhood and lifeworlds within music therapy theory, education, practice, and research. You can find links to articles, books, chapters, commentaries, music, presentations, tributes, undergraduate and graduate theses, videos, and more. The Black Music Therapists' Collection includes work by Black music therapy students, certificate-seeking members, or practitioners that contribute to our knowledge of music therapy theory, education, practice, research, and culture.
