The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy is a nonprofit organization that provides music therapy services for people with special needs in New York and on Long Island. The Rebecca Center's approach involves the interactive use of live music to stimulate and develop communication, expressiveness, socialization, and relationship. Another important facet of the Center's mission is to educate and train Music Therapy students to help prepare tomorrow's music therapists. All Music Therapy graduate students will enroll in a course entitled: "The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy" to introduce the Center's mission, research and clinical work. Graduate students may apply to complete fieldwork and internships under the supervision and guidance of experienced music therapists of the Rebecca Center. The clinical staff at the Center is fully trained, professionally credentialed music therapists.
