SER-ATMA 2023
Bridging the Gaps
Connect. Learn. Grow.
Welcome to Chattanooga, TN and the 2023 SER-AMTA Music Therapy Conference
Welcome to Chattanooga, Tennessee, “The Scenic City”! Home of the world famous Chattanooga Choo Choo, this is very fertile ground for musicians of all genres. Bessie Smith, Usher, The Impressions, Clyde Stubblefield, Jimmy Blanton, and Wilfred Middlebrooks are just a few notable musicians that have called Chattanooga home.
We are excited to offer a number of continuing education opportunities and concurrent sessions. Learn about the latest research at the research poster presentation and attend informative special topics presentations.
We hope this conference is an opportunity for you to learn new things, share ideas, become inspired, and enjoy time with friends and colleagues! Please don’t hesitate to contact one of the members of the conference committee if you have any questions.
"Thank you so much for all of the hard work you have put into this conference! I appreciate the accessibility and diversity of inclusion that a hybrid conference allows!”
—ANNA LAURA MCAFEE, PROJECT PLAY THERAPY
