MTSA Fall 2025

Who we are

MTSA is the Music Therapy Student Association consisting of Duquesne University’s undergraduate Music Therapy students. We plan events and service projects to promote the Music Therapy department, advocate for Music Therapy, bond with fellow students, and support Duquesne University’s campus. The Duquesne University MTSA consists of a combination of 15 undergraduate & equivalency music therapy students from the Mary Pappert School of Music. Through MTSA, we aim to further the professional and social development of our members in the music therapy field, promote and advocate for music therapy, support both Duquesne University's campus and community through various service projects and events

What are we fundraising for?

The purpose of our crowdfunding campaign is to provide financial assistance so that Duquesne University MTSA members can attend the Mid-Atlantic Region of American Music Therapy Association Annual Conference. Your donation will help to offset the costs of the expenses of Conference, such as the conference registration fees, hotel bookings, and transportation costs.

Reasons why attending this conference would greatly add to our Duquesne University experience: some members have submitted presentation proposals, and we have the opportunity to present to a captive audience. We would have the opportunity to network with others in the field, which can lead to clinical opportunities or even full-time jobs post-graduation. We would also have the ability to attend lectures run by professionals in the field.

Last year two of our music therapy students, were given the opportunity to present at the Great Lakes Region of American Music Therapy Association Annual Conference. They not only presented in front of their Duquesne music therapy peers, but also to many attendees of the conference which gave them an opportunity to share their research and later network with professionals in the field.
