Advocacy Events
AMTA advocacy events bring music therapy supporters together to increase awareness, build relationships with policymakers, and improve access to music therapy services.
Music Therapy Hill Days are one of the most effective ways to speak directly with legislators about the value of music therapy. These events help participants share personal stories, present evidence, and seek support for policies that advance the profession and the people it serves.

Music Therapy Hill Days
Music Therapy Hill Days are typically held at state capitols and bring together music therapists, students, clients, families, advocacy partners, State Task Force members, and community supporters.
These focused advocacy days create opportunities to meet with legislators and staff, share the benefits of music therapy, and discuss ways to improve access for consumers across the state.
Want to make your voice count? Hill Days are a practical way to help decision-makers understand why music therapy matters.
What Happens at a Hill Day?
Hill Day participants work in teams to meet with legislators who represent their districts, building relationships and creating meaningful conversations about music therapy.
During these meetings, advocates share personal and professional stories, highlight evidence of music therapy’s impact, provide state-specific resources, and discuss policy needs, service access, and professional recognition.
The goal is simple: help legislators understand the value of music therapy and support policies that strengthen recognition and expand access to services.
