Ceara,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Genuine enthusiasm is what I believe to be one of the most important things to bring to early childhood music therapy. We can bring motivating music and instruments, but genuine energy has the power to shift the atmosphere in the room.

My most valuable takeaway from this week’s content is the importance of knowing and understanding the various milestones of development in children. Understanding the markers of development informs our practice by influencing our view of the child, which helps us to choose developmentally-appropriate music therapy interventions.

In addition to fresh energy, I bring diversity to early childhood music therapy based programs. Approximately 13% of music therapists in the US are Black, and very few of which reside in Southeast Ohio. I believe that children seeing and interacting with people from various cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities is essential to growing into well-rounded adults.

Hello! My name is Kayla Stubblefield. I graduated from Ohio University in 2021 & completed my music therapy internship at Bridgeway Academy in Columbus, OH. I have been board-certified since July of 2022 and relocated back to my college town in Athens, OH to work for Central Ohio Music Therapy. Currently, I work with adolescents in juvenile corrections, behavioral healthcare agencies, rehabilitation facilities, and adults in corrections. I am recently engaged and love serving at my church in Athens, taking long walks, and crocheting! I look forward to hearing more about you all.
