Quote: “Through the Arts Leadership Program at Eastman, Emily held two internships in Music Therapy. She served as a Music Therapy Intern at the National Children’s Medical Center (Children’s Hospital) in Washington, D.C. where she worked with patients in the emergency room, dialysis unit, pain clinic, blood clinic, NICU, and oncology unit. She also worked as a Music Therapy Intern at the Hochstein School of Music and Dance in Rochester, New York. At Hochstein, Emily taught adaptive percussion lessons for music therapy clients with autism, intellectual disabilities, and physical disabilities. To this day, Emily volunteers as a “bandaide” for the interPLAY Orchestra, a band for adults with and without cognitive/physical disabilities at Strathmore Music Center in Maryland and credits her time in the Arts Leadership program as a vital part of her education at Eastman.”
