“ I think that every little step we achieve helps make people realize how empowering music therapy can be . Every time we have success with a client , every time we touch someone and there is a response that is positive , it helps to widen the awareness of how music has been a part of the lives of every group of people on every continent from the days of the first beating drum .”
