Why

When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, my once cheerful and energetic grandmother became depressed and disoriented. While she was not always the grandmother I remembered, and at times she did not remember us, her personality came through when we actively engaged in activities with her such as manicures and arts & crafts. As a musical individual, my grandmother’s mood greatly improved when engaging in music. 

As a child, my grandmother frequently reminded me to keep practicing piano because “you never know when you might want to play the piano in the future”. Music therapy is a wonderful combination of my passion for music and serving my community. Music therapy can make a tremendous impact on improving the quality of life of clients and caregivers alike. I have witnessed clients and caregivers connecting, enjoying each other’s company, and feeling like themselves again. I look forward to continuing to serve my community through therapeutic music experiences.
