To continue the exploration of arts therapy and how it is applicable to our generation, I had the opportunity to interview Kathleen Cicero who has her Undergrad in Music Therapy from Eastern Michigan University and will soon be on her way to becoming a certified arts therapist. I wanted to interview Kathleen Cicero because she is right at the cusp of transitioning from learning about music therapy to putting it into practice, and I think she has a lot of insight into why more people should and are becoming involved with arts therapies. We had a lovely conversation spanning topics from the basics of music therapy to further accessibility to creative youth. I have taken our conversation and summarized the main questions and answers we were able to touch on, in order to provide Creative Generation’s audience with the best possible access to this information.
