In March, Ashley Glover, a senior music therapy major at Radford University, presented her research at the Great Lakes Regional Music Therapy Conference in Columbus, Ohio. Under the mentorship of Dr. Sekyung Jang, Ashley conducted a qualitative study exploring how Black music therapists (BMTs) view the use of music therapy in supporting the mental health of Black clients. Her research highlighted key themes including barriers, optimism, safe spaces, lived experiences, and awareness.
Ashley is passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices in the field and hopes to continue this work, aspiring to one day publish research that contributes to a more accessible and inclusive future in music therapy.
