I realize this has been answered by others and may not be pertinent at
this time, but I have interacted with music therapists during my career
and my understanding is their main focus of training is in psychology.
They need musical skill, but may be able to find a position where use of
clients' own musical skills is more important than the therapist. If
your friend is potentially interested, a visit to a school or an online
review of requirements is appropriate.
