Jamie’s courses teach the musical fluency and clinical paradigm that allow for clinically effective music-making–tapping into one’s own intuition and musical identity in session work.  Her clinical style flows from the concepts of music-centered music therapy, with emphasis on concepts of schema theory and music as a container, whether used actively or receptively.
