Barbara's
presentations are MUSIC TO THE EARS . . .
Barbara steps up to the podium and performs verbal virtuosity
as you'd expect of a board-certified music therapist with 25 years
of clinical research and hands-on experience gained in medical
and psychiatric settings, public schools, community colleges and
universities. But it's her warmth and charisma, refined during
her 15 years as an award-winning entrepreneur, that are instrumental
in captivating and convincing listeners outside academia and medical
science that making music not only heals but maintains health
and even creates newfound wholeness.
Orchestrating audiences who have little or no musical background,
Barbara conclusively proves that music is an intuitive multi-tasking
power tool that can harmonize and electrify work groups (leadership),
deliver decrescendo to the stressed and grieving (coping skills),
groom the codependent for solo performance (behavior modification),
and access vocabulary long locked in the memory banks of patients
diagnosed with dementia (skill recovery).
