The History of GCMT
The GCMT began circa 1986 where meetings were often held in Houston. Sources state
the association began out of a need for music therapists (who were often isolated, either
by area or by population) to come together and share their experiences with other
therapists who also felt isolated and unsupported at times. There were less than 20
documented members at that time. Today, there are over 80 music therapists in the Gulf
Coast Region. Meetings have
been held primarily in Houston, but have been known to meet in Huntsville and Galveston.

Dues
