What other instruments will I have to learn for a career in music therapy?
I already play two instruments–piano and French horn. I have yet to be able to master French horn to a certain extent. The piano is going well.
I'm just interested in knowing what other instruments I'll need to learn for music therapy.

Hello!
To become a certified music therapist recognized by the Certification Board for Music Therapy (CBMT), music therapists are required to know how to play Piano and Guitar as well as sing. French Horn knowledge will be extremely useful as you enter the therapy space and are looking for different musical stimuli to work with your clients. Throughout training you will likely also be trained in some auxiliary percussion instruments and will take some music theory courses.
Best of luck to you on your journey! Music therapy is a wonderful field!
