Too bad the article is in subscriber access, the wiki page is much more complete http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicoth%C3%A9rapie and gives many references!
There have even been university training recently:
Two centers award the university degree in music therapy in France: that of Nantes (3rd cycle) and Montpellier (2nd cycle).
The universities of Montpellier III and Nantes offer long-term training leading to university diplomas. They are part of initial training and continuing education:
Montpellier Music Therapy Institute at Paul-Valéry Montpellier III University
Nantes Music Therapy Institute
In 2011, at the initiative of the universities of Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 and Paris Descartes, a new master PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité was born (replacing the former University Diploma in Arts in Therapy from the Boulogne-Billancourt Institute of Psychology and of the Master in Sciences of Education - music therapy specialty.)
