Kind Words
“Amy is an inspiring music therapist and an effective teacher. As a music therapy intern, I was immersed in the medical world with very limited knowledge of cancer diagnoses, treatments and symptoms. Amy helped guide me through the steps of identifying important patient information and recognizing key medical considerations. Amy has a breadth of knowledge and clinical experience that would benefit any music therapist interested in learning more about the pediatric medical setting!”
— Cassidy Besse, MA, MT-BC
“Until Amy brought her music therapy skillset to St. Jude in 2014 and then a couple of years later, adding an additional therapist, I do not think we were able to fully empower families to utilize their unique strengths to face their illness. She has enabled the patients and families she works with to share their journey through music”
— Shawn Brasher, MS, CCLS, Child Life Director
“Watching Amy work with kids is like watching a fabulous magician awe a young audience. I think of music therapy as one of the most potent symptom ‘medicines’ we can provide our patients. I have worked before and after the impact of the Music Therapy program and cannot overstate its benefit”
— Justin Baker, MD Palliative Care Oncologist
