Wilhelmina Harbert was the first music therapy educator in the Western Region. She offered the very first music therapy course at  College of Pacific (now University of the Pacific) in 1949. She began an internship in 1950, helping to develop that standard of training for our field. Her model of music therapy still applies today. She was a pioneer in our field and passionate about education. We believe that she would love the idea of offering conference scholarships.
