The STAR Center is an officially approved National Roster Internship Site by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). Our main office is located in Jackson, Tennessee, halfway between Memphis and Nashville. Our team serves a variety of populations in Jackson and Memphis. Since 1998, over 30 music therapists have become AMTA board-certified through our internship program.
Our Music Therapy interns will be given the opportunity to serve people with disabilities in both group and individual settings in Jackson and Memphis. Interns will have the chance to work with board-certified Music Therapists and a variety of assistive technology professionals.

Music is an important part of life. People use music to learn their ABCs, exercise, work, and enjoy the world. Our board-certified Music Therapists use these qualities of music to help people meet their individual goals.
These goals include:
-
Learning and Memory

Social Engagement
-
Emotional Regulation
-
Attention and Decision-Making
