Daniel Tague, PhD, MT-BC
Daniel Tague has experience as a teacher, clinician, blogger and researcher in the field of music therapy. Tague has quickly emerged as a rising authority within the music therapy field, working within a variety of settings including hospitals, school districts and rehabilitation units. He developed a pilot improvisational drumming curriculum for music therapy and music education students, and researched the effect of music therapy and art therapy on mood in patients with mental health needs. As part of his work with the World Federation of Music therapy, he co-authored the first worldwide survey study on music therapy clinical practice around the world. His current research projects include investigating music-based mindfulness for people with substance abuse and older adults with dementia. Another focus is his work with a team of researchers using music therapy to assist with pain and anxiety management after heart surgery.
Tague taught music therapy and directed the program at Shenandoah University in Virginia from 2012 to 2017. In 2017, he was re-elected to serve a three-year term as the chair of the clinical practice commission for the World Federation of Music Therapy. Tague was able to present preliminary results from the worldwide survey on clinical practice at the 15th World Congress of Music Therapy in Tsukuba, Japan in July 2017. He has led two study abroad trips to international conferences in Austria and Japan for music therapy students and hopes to lead another trip to South Africa for the 16th World Congress of Music Therapy.
Tague holds degrees from The Florida State University (Ph.D. in Music Therapy) and The University of Kansas (Master of Music Education with honors in Music Therapy).
