"The Music for Healing and Transition Program (MHTP) is a course of study which, in recognition of music as a therapeutic enhancement to the healing process and the life/death transition, prepares musicians to serve the ill, dying, and to all those who may benefit, by providing music as a service to create healing environments. Our graduates are Music Practitioners. To advance our student interns in the development of their skills, we affiliate with health care facilities and community organizations." from the MHTP Mission Statement found at : http://www.mhtp.org/
