Music Therapy at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music

Excited for our next continuing education workshop - "Hip Hop in Music Therapy" with Dannyele Crawford, MS, LCAT, MT-BC, Monday April 20th, 2026, 6 - 9 PM via Zoom

https://bkcm.org/event/hip-hop-mt/

This experiential workshop explores Hip Hop as a powerful clinical tool within music therapy practice. Rooted in community, storytelling, and innovation, Hip Hop offers music therapists culturally responsive frameworks for engagement, identity exploration, emotional expression, and empowerment. Through historical grounding and interactive exploration of core Hip Hop practices like cyphers, freestyling, and DJing, participants will examine how Hip Hop can inform ethical, culturally attuned clinical work across multiple populations and settings.

Open to music therapists, students, and creative professionals!

If the voice is the most-used instrument in our clinical practice, why do so many of us feel vulnerable or disconnected from our singing voices?

This 3-hour in-person workshop offers practical, accessible approaches to vocal exploration, grounded in breathing, vocal improvisation, and listening. Together, we’ll build a supportive space to foster vocal confidence, flexibility, and authenticity. We’ll explore techniques to shift pitch, tone, and projection, with a focus on vocal health, breath, and self-awareness. Reconnect with your voice—and learn ways to invite your clients to do the same.

This Tuesday!

Virtual CE Workshop, Tuesday January 14th, 6 - 9 PM - snag your spot here! https://bkcm.org/event/finding-a-beat-keeping-a-beat/

In this engaging workshop, attendees will explore rhythmic training techniques developed by music therapist and professional drummer Anthony Riscica. Drawing on decades of drumming experience, this workshop highlights the benefits of rhythmic understanding in fostering deeper connections with clients and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Through use of metronome exercises and rhythmic timing, attendees will not only open their ears to different ways of listening and hearing, but also discover how these techniques can broaden their musicality and deepen their ability to connect with clients.

With rhythmic training often overlooked in many music therapy programs, this workshop is designed to fill that gap, offering participants practical skills to enrich their practice and elevate their work.
