The History of music therapy

Music therapy has been making a difference in people's lives in New Zealand for 50 years. And next weekend that milestone is being celebrated in Wellington. Daphne Rickson is an adjunct professor at the New Zealand School of Music-Te Koki - the only place you can train to be a music therapist in New Zealand. She's just written a book A History of Music Therapy New Zealand. Daphne decided to train as a music therapist when she saw the difference music therapy made to her daughter, who was born profoundly deaf. She joins Susie and Mihi to talk about how the profession has grown and the impact it continues to have.
