“I am the California Regional Chairperson for the Williams Syndrome Association. Last Saturday, two of your therapists came to our event at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. I wanted to tell you that they were the most amazing music therapy session we have ever had. Our kids all have a natural affinity for music, so we have used several music therapy groups. We were delighted with the day. (Noelle Pederson) was engaging, delightful, knowledgeable, fun and kind. She was everything families would look for in a therapist.
Thank you so much for your program. You are doing a great job! We hope to see you again in the future.”—Verna Hornbaker

“Music therapy class first came to me at a time when my world was, once again, turned upside down. From the moment I first attended a class, the positive energy grabbed me. Subsequently, many times my body was weakened by chemo or pain, but amazing things happened as we hummed, drummed, sang and laughed.
You, Barbara, are a fantastic facilitator, putting the various methods of music therapy together in a manner that works! And because you are who you are, you select the best people to follow in your footsteps. The interns just seem to get better and better. They and you, too, couple knowledge of implementing the medicine with a sense of caring and thoughtfulness.
Thank you again and again for making my body and mind healthier and my life happier. The class is the highlight of my week. Pain and sadness disappear each Wednesday night.”—Terry F.
“As you may know, I was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. While I would have preferred to remain healthy, the illness has given me greater insight to the health care system than I could ever have imagined. I have been a nurse for 22 years. Most recently, I was encouraged to attend a music therapy program at Scripps. What a gift! After the program, I felt so much better about my experiences and my feelings. I felt relaxed, and, at the same time, motivated. I think that the music therapy program is so vital that I wish every cancer patient could experience it. It is truly a priceless gift, and I hope that it will continue and grow.”—U.C.
