Continuing Music Therapy Education (CMTEs) with RGV Music Therapy
Advancing music therapy through culture-centered education, innovative scholarship, and lived experiences.
Welcome to our Learning Community
Continuing education is more than maintaining certification - it is an opportunity to expand our perspectives, strengthen our clinical practice, and grow alongside one another as professionals. At RGV Music Therapy, we believe the most meaningful learning happens when research, lived experience, culture, and clinical practice intersect.
Our CMTE programs are designed to foster thoughtful dialogue, introduce emerging ideas, and provide culturally informed tools that clinicians can confidently bring into their work.
As a CBMT Approved Provider, we are committed to offering learning opportunities that not only support professional development but also encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the Latine communities we serve. We invite you to join a growing community of music therapists dedicated to lifelong learning, meaningful collaboration, and advancing the profession together.

Share Your Expertise
Become a CMTE Instructor
We believe that the future of music therapy education is strengthened by the knowledge, innovation, and lived experiences of clinicians in Latine communities. Our CMTE platform is committed to amplifying the diverse voices, cultural perspectives, and clinical expertise that enrich our profession across the region.
We invite Latine music therapists to submit proposals for continuing music therapy education (CMTE) courses. If you have developed a culturally responsive clinical approach, conducted research, specialize in a particular population, or have expertise in an emerging area of practice, we encourage you to share your knowledge with colleagues around the world.
We're especially interested in courses that highlight regional practices, cultural traditions, innovative interventions, and topics that are underrepresented in mainstream continuing education. Together, we can create learning opportunities that reflect the richness and diversity of music therapy throughout the Americas.
We’d love to hear your ideas. Submit a proposal and help expand access to culturally responsive continuing education.
Course Development Support:
If you'd like support bringing your course idea to life, we also offer optional mentorship to guide you through the course development process. Fill out the form with as much information as you currently have available and a member of our team will contact you for additional support.

The grievance policy and procedure for music therapists seeking education opportunities is a crucial aspect of ensuring that all participants are treated fairly and have the ability to address any concerns they may have. The following outlines the steps to be taken in order to file a grievance, as well as the way in which participants will be informed of the existence of this policy.
Participants in music therapy continued education opportunities will be informed of the existence of the grievance policy and procedure at the beginning of the program during the introductory module and will also be listed on the webpage of our website dedicated to continued education opportunities. This information will include the contact information for the person responsible for addressing grievances, as well as the timeline for filing a grievance.
If a participant wishes to file a grievance, the participant should submit an email of the grievance to Marisa de Leon at marisa@rgvmusictherapy.com within 30 days of the incident. The written grievance should include a clear description of the grievance, the date and location of the grievance, and any other relevant information.
The grievance will then be reviewed and a written response will be provided to the participant within 30 days of receiving the grievance. If the participant is not satisfied with the response, they have the right to have the grievance addressed by the Continuing Education Committee of the Certification Board for Music Therapists.
