Dear Mareta,
I received my master's degree from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, which has a great program, but I realize you're looking in a different area. Florida State University (in Talahassee) has a very strong program, as does Michigan State University (in East Lansing). Those, with the addition of KU (in Lawrence, KS) and my alma mater in Colorado, are the schools that I hear the most about as far as research, excellent curriculum, etc. As you said, UGA also has a great program, and so do some schools in Ohio. I think the one I've heard the most about there is Ohio U, in Athens, Ohio... University of Iowa is also right up there, but I know that's a little midwest.
You can check out www.musictherapy.org for more schools and information, if you haven't been there already. Also, I'd recommend reading Intro. to Music Therapy (Thaut, Davis, and Gfeller) and Music as Therapy (Deforia Lane). The first is a textbook but very helpful in giving a broad idea of what music therapy is about, the second is a more personal autobiography of a wonderful music therapist, with very moving and interesting case studies/examples. If you have any other questions I can help with, please feel free to email me directly also at tigger30@....
