GCSU Music Therapy Program

Congratulations to Campbell Ransom, MT-BC, MA, on passing the Certification Board for Music Therapists exam! 👏🎶

After graduating from GCSU and completing her internship at Florida Music Therapy, Campbell recently earned her Master of Arts in Music Business from Berklee. We are so proud of all her hard work and accomplishments, and we can’t wait to see all she does next! 💙💚🎵

There is a free 3 hour CMTE this Saturday in Athens! It’s going to be great!

🎓 Congratulations to our newest GCSU Music Therapy Bobcats, Kelsey, Megan, & Shani! 💙🎶💚

We are so proud of these students and all the hard work, dedication, and musicianship they’ve brought to our program. While Shani walked in December, we’re celebrating all three and the incredible accomplishments that brought them to this moment! 👏✨

And a special shoutout to Dr. Peebles, who stepped in to deliver a truly “golden” commencement speech about finding our joy. 🌟🎤

A big congratulations to music therapy seniors Cole Flowers and Kelsey Carpenter on their outstanding senior recitals! 🎷

Both Cole and Kelsey delivered impressive performances that reflect years of dedication, growth, and hard work—both as musicians and future music therapists. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished and grateful for the passion and commitment they bring to our program.

Way to go, Cole and Kelsey! 👏

What a show! 🎶

Last Friday morning, more than 100 Baldwin County K–12 students joined 33 teachers and paraprofessionals, along with 14 music therapy students and 3 music therapy faculty members, for an incredible performance. It was a great reminder of what can happen when people come together through music.

This year marks 10 years of partnership with the Baldwin County School District’s Program for Exceptional Children. What started in 2016 with Dr. Katie Whipple and just five classrooms has grown steadily over the years. Under the direction of Erin Kelly, MMT, LPMT, MT-BC, the program continues to reach more students and create meaningful musical experiences for learners of all abilities. Mrs. Kelly's creativity, musicianship, and communication are just a few of the qualities that make her such an asset to our program and students!

A heart felt thank you to all the students, teachers, para-professionals, administrators, faculty, and parents that help make this event possible each year!

Ready to see our music therapy students and amazing LEC performers take “flight” on Thursday night! See you at New City Church, April 23, 6pm
