So You Want to Become a Music Therapist in Bangladesh?

Music therapy is one of the most rewarding allied-health careers — and Bangladesh now has a clear path into it.

The journey usually begins with the BMTA Certification in Music Therapy (CMT): a six-month course blending psychology, music skills, and supervised clinical hours.

After certification, members complete supervised placements in our partner hospitals and schools before practising independently.

You do not need to be a virtuoso musician — you need musicality, empathy, and a commitment to clinical rigour.
