Please upload videos of yourself to the portfolio section of your online application playing a few brief pieces on your primary instrument that show the range of your musicality. These can be short compositions or excerpts from longer works. In addition, on your primary instrument please improvise on a theme or emotion and afterwards discuss your improvisation on the recording. We would also like you to play both piano and guitar and accompany yourself singing on both instruments. If possible, choose songs to play in a few different styles. While you can have some latitude in the length of what you play, the total time of the recording should be no more than 30 minutes. We would like you to talk about yourself on the recording: Tell us about your music background and professional experience. Please answer the following questions as well: Why are you interested in music therapy? Why would you like to study music therapy at NYU specifically?
