About
I'm Katherine, a Music Therapist specializing in working with children and youth with developmental disabilities
With over twenty years experience in working with people with developmental disabilities, and over thirty years of musical experience, becoming a music therapist was an easy choice for Katherine.
Katherine works from the models of creative music therapy and community music therapy – her philosophy is that everyone should have a chance to be creative – and that music and the arts can be a bridge to integrating our society. Her resume includes many years of piano teaching, which explains why she has excelled at teaching adapted lessons. Katherine also works well with young children – using music to engage and facilitate communication.
