Job Title: IEP-Based Music Therapist for Grades PreK-12

Start Date: August 20, 2018

Description: Be a valued, integral part of the educational team and enjoy weekly time to connect with our creative crew of music therapists. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse spectrum of disabilities, ages, and functioning levels.

Ah-Mazing Perks

Many of our therapists use this time to work at summer camps, take on service projects abroad, enroll in summer courses, or chill with family. If we get along famously, the position automatically renews each school year, so you’ll return back the subsequent August when school starts again.
