Student of Music Therapy UPH Received an Award at the 15th World Music Therapy Congress in Tsukuba, Japan

A great thing that also brings joy was that this time, Indonesia was represented by 7 delegates which consisted of music therapists and students of UPH Music Therapy, and one of them, Jessica Hariwijaya, has successfully achieved the 2017 World Congress of Music Therapy Scholarship Award. Jessica was the only student who has undergone her studies in Asia, whereas the other nine awardees came from universities in UK, USA, Australia, Canada, and Brazil.

On the same occasion, Jessica did a presentation based on her poster about her study on music therapy which she has practiced with stroke patients in the Medical Rehabilitation Unit of Siloam Hospital Lippo Village.

?Hopefully, through our meeting with fellow music therapist colleagues, and also with the presentations which had been attended by students from all over the world, UPH Music Therapy can get even more inspired and motivated to develop music therapy in Indonesia,? said  Monica Subiantoro, Music Therapy Study Program Coordinator, Conservatory of Music UPH.
