A must-read article from the C2MT Magazine entitled 'Leaving Space: Supporting the Emotional World of Children" by Kate Shannon.

"As music therapists, we are uniquely positioned to create an incredibly powerful relationship with children. We have the power of music by our side, we love connecting with others, and most of us are in this field to combine our love of music and helping others"
