St. Paul University Manila proudly welcomes Ms. Annette Asuncion, an alumna of our own College of
Music, as the resource professor. Ms. Asuncion received her Masters of Arts (Major in Music Therapy)
from New York University, and a National Board Certified Teacher in Exceptional Needs Specialist/Early
Childhood through Young Adulthood in the USA, where she has practiced therapeutic work for 23 years.
She comes to the Philippines twice a year to give courses in Music Therapy.

The use of music therapy can help people who are crippled by various cognitive and
bio-psychosocial problems. It can also help to improve the quality of life of people with
disabilities of various kinds. To date, except in one or two private places, there is no such service
being offered in special education schools in the country. This is due to lack of music therapists
who are qualified to plan, design, and implement such program.

A MUSI C THERAPY CENTER (a FI RST in the Philippines) is being prepared in the campus
of St. Paul University Manila to give this kind of service. This will be a venue for the
practicum of the graduate students in Music Therapy and for helping people with disabilities
have a better quality of life.
By supporting the SPU Manila Music Therapy Center, you are
helping us reach hundreds of individuals with disabilities through a
program that makes a difference, where others can often fail.

MUSIC THERAPY CENTER
Services to be rendered:
* Individual music therapy sessions
* Group music therapy sessions
