Megan Resig

Megan Resig, LCAT, MT-BC, NMT®, serves as Chair of the Department of Music & Performing Arts at Roberts Wesleyan University, where she teaches in the Music Therapy program. A Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and board-certified music therapist, Megan brings experience as a musician, clinician, educator, and arts administrator to her work with students. She is also co-owner and Director of Spectrum Creative Arts, a community arts center in the Rochester area providing music therapy and creative arts programming for individuals of all ages and abilities.

Megan’s work as a clinician and educator centers on the ways music can support communication, connection, self-expression, and meaningful participation. Her extensive experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families has shaped her understanding of music not simply as an artistic pursuit, but as a deeply human way of relating, creating, and engaging with the world.

As an educator, Megan is particularly interested in helping emerging music therapists develop strong musicianship, clinical reasoning, creativity, and adaptability. Her teaching emphasizes the integration of musical skill with thoughtful, person-centered practice and prepares students to use music responsively and meaningfully across a variety of clinical and community settings.

Megan earned her B.S. in Piano Performance from Roberts Wesleyan University and her M.S. in Music Therapy from Nazareth College. She completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Trauma-Informed Clinical Practice through New York University’s Silver School of Social Work and advanced training in Neurologic Music Therapy® through the Academy of Neurologic Music Therapy®. Her professional interests include developmental disabilities, community-based music therapy, functional musicianship, trauma-informed care, and accessible and inclusive engagement in the arts.
