Mentoring

Let's walk a piece of the road together.

For students needing a solid thesis reference and music therapists looking to unlock clinical stalemates.

Three paths, one travel companion

Mentoring is for everyone. Everyone starts from a different point, but the direction is the same: growth.

For Students

I accompany you in writing your thesis, defining your final project, or preparing your certification exam.

  • Content structuring
  • Bibliographic research orientation
  • Methodological solidity review

If you are currently one of my students, there is no need to write from here: supporting you is already part of my role as your teacher. Your questions are always welcome — just write to me directly.

For Professionals

Support and supervision on clinical cases, design of interventions or unblocking of clinical impasses.

  • Case analysis and strategy
  • Project design (grants, structures)
  • Professional identity consulting

For the curious

Not in the field but curious about music therapy? Want to understand how music can help you, a family member, or a project? Let's talk.

  • • Understanding music therapy
  • • Music and personal well-being
  • • Navigating proposals
  • • Questions without embarrassment

Three steps, no complications

1

Write to me

Tell me who you are, what you do, what you need. There is no question too simple or too strange. Use the form below, or send me an email.

2

Let's talk

We'll schedule a video call. I listen, I ask questions (the right ones), and we look for the direction together. No obligation, no sales.

3

Walk together

If it makes sense for both of us, we continue. One meeting, three, ten — it depends on the path. The important thing is that with every step you feel lighter.

The topics

Here are some areas where I can accompany you. But they are not the only ones — bring me your question.

Clinical Supervision

Case analysis, reflection on the therapist's self, intervention strategies. From daily practice to deep doubts.

Therapeutic Songwriting

Facilitated composition techniques, using the song as a clinical tool. My specialization for 20 years.

Community Music Therapy

Designing community interventions, working in teams, music therapy in the territory. "Doing together" as care.

Career and Profession

VAT, rates, contracts, billing. Everything they don't teach in school but you need to make a living.

Educational Orientation

Which school to choose? Conservatory? Master's? I'll tell you the landscape without hiding anything.

Music and Well-being

For those not in the field: how music can help you in everyday life. No technical jargon, just substance.

"I don't want to be right about music therapy. I want to be happy in music therapy."

— A Light-Hearted Journey Through Music Therapy, ep. 31

The perspective of a senior


After 35 years in this profession, I have probably already made, observed or supervised most of the mistakes it is possible to make.

With mentoring I don't give you ready-made recipes. I help you change lenses, see what you haven't seen yet in your thesis, in your clinical project or in your interaction with that patient who is putting you in crisis.

The data you send (name, email address, message) is used to reply to you and is delivered by email. A service copy stays on this site so that no message is lost: 90 days if the message was delivered, 12 months if delivery failed but you left a valid email address — so we can still reply — and 7 days for automated submissions, which have no valid address. Your IP address and the page you wrote from, collected to protect the form from abuse, are deleted after 7 days. You can ask for your data to be deleted at any time by writing to info@canevapaolo.it.
