How I Discovered Music Therapy
Bring the power of music to more people in need
Growing up in a musical family, I trained in piano, oboe, vocals, pipa, and other instruments before pursuing music education in college. During my studies, I discovered that music goes beyond technical skill—it profoundly impacts emotions and psychology.
A pivotal moment came when I attended a hospital workshop where a music therapist shared how music helps children with special needs develop social skills. This experience ignited my passion for music therapy.
To deepen my understanding, I expanded my studies to include psychology, physical education, and special education. After graduation, I continued my music therapy training in the United States under Dr. Suzanne Hanser, President of the World Music and Medicine Association.
My Mission: I believe music's power is limitless—it not only brings beauty but heals hearts. I'm dedicated to exploring this path and bringing music's therapeutic power to those who need it most.
