Choose an orientation/philosophy from our class or independent of our class, that interests you.  Use the theory and/or philosophy to apply to the music therapy sessions.  The paper will meet the following criteria; concise summary of the fundamentals of the chosen topic and your application to music therapy facilitation.  The final paper will be formatted in APA style adhering to all grammatical rules, proofread and spell checked to the best of your ability.  The final will be four pages in length, with at minimum of three journal articles supporting the application of the orientation/philosophy with the final non-counted (meaning this will not be included in the four page minimum) page being an APA reference page.  Grading will be divided between professional writing ability (25), correct summary (35%) and music therapy application (40%).
