s I write this we are in the midst of the dog days of summer. While the dog
days of summer often refers to a time of laziness of inactivity, I find that I am
busier than ever. And my two dogs are just as playful as they usually are! Summer for
many is a time to catch up on things that have been neglected throughout the rest of
the year, to take vacation and to plan for the coming year. Whether your summer is
eventful or quiet, I hope that that you are enjoying this special time of year.

I would like to take this opportunity to
thank retiring board members Darcy
Walworth, Nancy Hadsell, and Katie
Bond. Darcy served as Chair in 2011,
and was an energetic and committed
leader. Nancy, who served for many
years as the Board’s Secretary Treasurer,
may hold the record for the most years
served on the Board, and has been
devoted to the work and mission of
CBMT. Katie served for four years as
the Public Member, and also chaired
the Public Information and Outreach
Committee (PIO). We are tremendously
appreciative of their service, and they
will be missed. Joining the Board are
two new members, Deborah Layman
and Andrea Cevasco, who both have a
long history with CBMT. Deb, who lives
in Ohio, brings a wealth of experience
to the Board from her six years on the
Continuing Education Committee.
Andrea, currently a professor at the
University of Alabama, brings her
expertise from her six years on the
Exam Committee. We are also very
excited to welcome Christina Harrison
to the Board as our new Public
Member. Christina is a retired RN,
healthcare administrator and music
therapy advocate. She brings a wealth of
knowledge about certification, advocacy
and administrative policy making. We
welcome them warmly to the Board and
look forward to working with them.

with Board member Maureen Hearns. This annual
international event is attended by people from many
diverse professions who share an interest in learning
more about best practices and accreditation standards.
ICE is a membership association certification
organization providing technical and educational
information concerning certification practices. The
National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA),
which accredits CBMT, is the accreditation arm of ICE.
Maureen and I took part in a full-day workshop entitled
Governance Excellence for Certifying Organizations. Our
leader guided us through a number of exercises with the
goal of helping us define our leadership characteristics
and determine the critical success factors of our Board,
in addition to providing an overview of what great
governance is and how to achieve it. I was able to bring
much of this new information back to the Board, to
stimulate people’s thinking about how the Board can
function most effectively. We are planning for the entire
Board to attend a portion of the next ICE conference in
November 2012.
As Chair of CBMT, I was invited to attend the AMTA
Board meeting in April 2012 outside Baltimore, MD. As
a guest I was able to listen to all the reports and updates,
and answer questions regarding certification. The
President of AMTA, Mary Ellen Wylie, in turn is invited
to be a guest at CBMT Board meetings. It is noteworthy
www.cbmt.org
that AMTA and CBMT now have such a cordial and
supportive relationship, as this wasn’t always the case
in the past. The two organizations, while having two
distinct purposes, collaborate in areas that further the
field of music therapy, for instance the State Recognition
Program. I look forward to attending the next AMTA
Board meeting at the national conference in October.
At our recent CBMT Board meeting in Kansas City, MO
in May 2012, one of our tasks was to begin generating a
new strategic plan for CBMT. We have already met most
of the goals delineated in our last strategic plan, done in
2009. Creating a strategic plan is a fascinating process.
We met with a consultant who is an expert in helping
organizations articulate their mission and core values,
identify specific goals and aspirations, and develop an
implementation plan for the next five years. We will be
completing the plan at our fall meeting. CBMT is pleased
to report that as of mid-July, there are 5,528 certificants.
I would like to encourage all MT-BCs to familiarize
themselves with the new nominating procedures (see
www.cbmt.org) and to consider applying to serve on a
committee or on the Board of CBMT. Read about the
work of the various committees to find the best match
for your interests and skills. It is extremely rewarding
to contribute to our profession in this way, and we are
always looking for new people to become involved.

uring the 2012 legislative
session the CBMT Regulatory
Affairs team, (Dena Register and
Kimberly Sena Moore) in cooperation
with the AMTA Government
Relations team (Judy Simpson, Becky
Smith and Barbara Else), supported
eleven state task forces who submitted
legislation to recognize the MT-BC
credential. Bills went forward in
Washington, Colorado, Hawaii, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Georgia, Minnesota and
Indiana.
Additionally, three states are pursuing
a sunrise review, which is a precursor
to filing state recognition bills. This
kind of advocacy and pursuit of
formal recognition is unprecedented
in our field and the number of states
involved in the targeted advocacy
effort is double that of 2011.
kimberly sena moore
Congratulations go to our colleagues
in Georgia and their task force for
their continuous and relentless
pursuit of legislation that licenses
MT-BCs in Georgia. On May 1,
Governor Nathan Deal signed the
Georgia Music Therapy licensure bill
into law. Georgia is the third state to
grant licensure to MT-BCs following
last year’s success in both Nevada and
North Dakota. While the incredible
advocacy in these states has resulted
in bill passage, work to outline the
regulations for laws in those states
continues. Task force members are
involved in the selection of board
members and advisory efforts that
help define and outline how the laws
in their state will be enacted. They
also continue to work on educating
other professionals in the state about
the field of music therapy and the MTBC credential.
As we move toward the 2013 legislative
session it appears that we will maintain
the number of states with active
legislation. An election year often
requires that we regroup, seek new
advocates, and provide education to
newly elected officials. Both old and
new task forces re-evaluate their goals

Did you know that you can earn CMTE credits that specifically meet
your unique learning needs and style? Of the 100 credits needed to
recertify every five years, as many as 60 credits can be obtained using
the Individualized Self-Study method.*

his means that you can design a course of study that specially fits your area of
practice. In addition, you can design a format that best meets your learning
style. If you have been unable to attend conferences or continuing education courses,
or you live in an area where they are rarely offered, this option may present a valuable
recertification alternative for you.
Here’s how you can set up a self-study course that is
uniquely tailored to your learning needs:
christine wineberg
• Select a content area using the
CBMT Scope of Practice at
www.cbmt.org/recertification.
• Identify a mentor who is an
established clinician, educator
or researcher in this content area
and together design your course.
This mentor does not need to
be a music therapist as long as
you can demonstrate how the
course you have designed applies
to your continuing education as
a music therapist. For example,
an MT-BC might create a course
with a mentor on a specific
therapy technique, or take lessons
with an expert instructor on a
specific instrument. Learning
objectives and description of
specific strategies and educational
materials to be used would be
included in the course design (e.g.,
reading a book and summarizing
what you can apply to your
practice, completing a literature
review on related articles, etc.)

• Write a plan identifying the need for this self-study
course and the goals, the qualifications of the chosen
mentor, and your timeline and evaluation methods
for completion of the course. Include learning
objectives that are measurable and related to the
chosen CBMT Scope of Practice area. Identify the
methods and materials you plan to use and how
you will demonstrate and document that you have
learned what you set out to study.
• Lastly, include an explanation of how you have
achieved the amount of credits you have claimed
through completing your course as designed.
Remember that you can claim up to 60 credits in one
cycle using self-study courses, but only up to 20 in
each content area.
Once you and your mentor agree on a course design,
you can implement your course of study following
your established objectives. Both you and your mentor
will write one or two paragraphs at the conclusion
summarizing the effectiveness of the course and
what you have learned. Document the beginning and
ending dates of the study, the time spent completing
the work, time spent with the mentor reviewing it, and
documentation that the work was done as designed.
This serves as your certificate of completion, similar to
what you would receive at an approved CMTE event.
www.cbmt.org
You and your mentor assume all responsibility for the
course design, content, methods and record keeping,
so document everything related to the course. This
documentation will serve as proof that you have
completed a self-study course following the guidelines
established in the Recertification Manual should you be
selected for an audit. A Final Evaluation form is provided
on page 52 of the Recertification Manual. The completed
form will ensure that the required documentation is
compiled from you and the mentor.

Emma T. Beecey, a board certified music therapist just
moved to rural Pennsylvania with her family. Because
she has small children, one who is school aged, and
a toddler, she has found it very difficult to attend
conferences, and continuing education events in her area
are often more than an hour’s drive away. She also finds
it difficult to sit through lecture style presentations and
often finds her attention wandering and leaves feeling
frustrated that she hasn’t retained more of the material.
She knows that she learns best using a combination of
receptive and active techniques. She works part-time in
a day program for adults with Intellectual Disabilities for
a county agency that does not provide reimbursement
for continuing education; she does not earn paid time
off. For Emma, her part time work is convenient in that

she can arrange her hours around her children’s needs,
but she wants to eventually establish her own practice
working with children with Intellectual Disabilities in
a school system. She set a goal to complete 15 CMTE
credits within a calendar year. She identified the most
relevant items in the CBMT Scope of Practice which
relate to her goals and decided that she would focus on
business management first.
Section IV, B: Professional Responsibilities:
13. Engage in business management tasks (e.g.,
marketing, payroll, contracts, taxes, insurance).
14. Prepare and maintain a music therapy
program budget.
15. Prepare accountability documentation for
facility administration and/or local, state, and
federal agencies.
Emma contacted a self-employed music therapist whom
she had met at a conference two years before who had
presented on the topic of Business Management, who
was located about two hours away, and who agreed to
mentor her for an hourly rate similar to what she charged
music therapists for clinical supervision. They both
read the documentation requirements in the CBMT
Recertification Manual and knew that they would
need to document the mentor’s suitability to serve as
an expert, the communication between them, Emma’s

To accommodate Emma’s need for active learning, she
chose to research and collect information specific to her
county regarding establishing a business and tax laws.
She wrote a business plan which included a proposed
budget and plan to develop documentation that
would meet county and school district standards. Her
mentor suggested that she purchase a book on business
management, read it and use the principles to write
her business plan and then also review documentation
used by other music therapists in her area who worked
within the school system. Together they also agreed
that reviewing the documentation requirements for the
state and county agencies would be helpful and would
prepare Emma to create the necessary forms relevant to
the guidelines. She would offer them to her mentor for
review at the end of the self-study course.

from the Certification Board of Music Therapists.

result in 20 CMTE credits. Emma drafted a plan with
input from her mentor who then reviewed and revised
it before signing it. They calculated that it would take
Emma six months to complete and document all of the
work. If the work was accomplished in fewer than 17
hours, the accurate number of credits would be claimed,
but no more than 20 credits would be claimed in this
content area. The mentor would provide an evaluation of
Emma’s achievement.
including instrument purchase and maintenance,
travel reimbursement, and the cost of mentorship
and supervision. (IV.B.14)
• Identify four items which are required by the
county to be included in all documentation before
any services will be reimbursed and create sample
documents demonstrating inclusion of those items
such as treatment plans, assessments progress notes,
and billing summaries. (IV.B. 15)
Emma demonstrated her readiness to begin the
individualized self-study by identifying a multi-stage
plan with a timeline to launch her own business when
her youngest child started school in three years. She
also identified that she has not previously been able to
take any continuing education credits or coursework in
business development. She listed her measurable goals as
relating to CBMT.
Emma felt confident that her individualized self-study
course was well designed and that the business plan,
budget, and four reimbursement documents she would
create would help to successfully launch her consultation
practice. She was glad that she could pick a specific topic
to study, find a qualified mentor to supervise the study,
and produce materials that she could then use in her
private practice. The learning style met her need for
flexible time and kept her engaged by offering activity
such as researching and/or meeting with local officials.
She was also pleased that she could use her creativity
to design a course that uniquely fit her learning needs.
After all, isn’t that part of being a music therapist?
Scope of Practice Items
• Acquire knowledge about two tax laws and one
concept related to business development and
demonstrating proficiency by writing a business plan
that reflects compliance with specific county, state
and federal laws. (IV.B.13)
• Design a budget spanning the first two years of
private practice consultation in a school district
* No more than 20 credits can be earned in one content
area. Please refer to the 2011 CBMT Recertification
Manual, Fifth Edition, pages 16-17 and 52 for complete
requirements.
