Learn to Move is participating in a new music therapist training.

Functional Music Therapy (FMT) is a fantastic form of therapy, where Margareta Ericsson and Karina Larsson are starting a training at Eskilstuna Folk High School in the autumn of 2020 after many years of work. Treatment can occur individually or in groups, catering to all ages, and it is aimed at those with neuropsychiatric diagnoses or various types of brain injuries. With music as a tool and knowledge about people, as a Music Therapist following the FMT model, you can work within health promotion, rehabilitation, schools, and care. Learn to Move will participate in the teaching related to motor development, senses and perception, physical self-esteem, and more. It’s a joy to participate in a therapy form that embraces music and movement, benefiting both children and the elderly, promoting well-being and development. More of that! If you are interested in attending the training, you can read more about it here .
