USU Libraries Seeking Participants for Oral History Project on Music Therapy

LOGAN, Utah — A new oral history project from Utah State University Libraries is tuning into the stories of music therapists, their clients and the communities they serve.

“Resonant Care: An Oral History Project on Music Therapy, Memory and Community” invites board-certified music therapists and those impacted by their work to share how music supports healing, identity and belonging. Through one-time recorded interviews, participants will help preserve the vital role of music therapy across Cache Valley and surrounding regions.

Organizers are seeking interview participants from the following groups:

• Board-certified music therapists.
• Current or former clients of music therapy.
• Family members and caregivers.
• Colleagues or collaborators who have witnessed music therapy in action.

To learn more or express interest in participating, contact:

• Corinne Pickett, MA, MT-BC, c.pickett@usu.edu.
• Joe Kinzer, Ph.D., joe.kinzer@usu.edu.

Each interview will take approximately 60-90 minutes and may include optional photography or site documentation with participant consent. This study is approved by the USU Institutional Review Board (IRB #15344).

USU Libraries’ Special Collections & Archives collects, preserves, and provides access to unique and rare materials, including oral histories, regional manuscripts, and folklore recordings. Learn more at the USU Libraries website.
