I am a board certified music therapist and work part-time at the Westchester Conservatory of Music in White Plains, New York, and the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in Brooklyn. 
I received my master's degree in music therapy from New York University in 1996 and my bachelor's degree in psychology and music from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas in 1991. I specialize in working with children with emotional disturbances and adults with developmental disabilities. My primary instrument is voice, followed by piano and guitar.
Many people ask me what music therapy is. Music therapy is many things, and you can certainly research it more at musictherapy.org, the website of the American Music Therapy Association. Andrea Frisch also has a beautiful site at musictherapyonline.com. I find the role of the therapist is sometimes like that of the listener in the poem below by Stephen Crane: "There was a man with a tongue of wood Who essayed to sing. And in truth it was lamentable. But there was one who heard The clip-clapper of this tongue of wood And knew what the man wished to sing, And with that the singer was content." -- Stephen Crane |
