Would this be a possible/sensible career path?
I’ve been looking into the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy as fields that I would like to work in, and I have decided that I would like to be a psychiatrist, but with pyschotherapy training as well.
I’m also interested in music therapy. Do you think it would be possible to be a psychiatrist/psychologist/music therapist? How would such a practice work?

Music therapy is like Speech therapy. You are going to have to choose one field to go into. I had a relative that was in a comma after a long time after a car accident. She had to have music therapy, and it did help her. but, choose which interests you the best.

Psychiatrists are doctors, who have gone on to specialize in psychiatry. Psychologists have degrees in psychology. Psychiatrists are in far higher demand, and receive far higher pay. Psychologists, having just bachelor of arts (and the postgraduate equivalents), will nearly always have lower pay, and fewer jobs. Psychiatrists are often the people who would get paid to talk people with mental health problems. A psychologist would more often have a career as a school councilor, or similar. If you can get into medical school, being a psychiatrist would be a far, far better choice.
