Hello! I’m Rachel
See, founder of Music Therapy E-books
In 2012, I had just finished writing my second e-book when I had an idea: why not create a create an online space where ALL music therapists could share their ideas? I began brainstorming how I would curate a site that would encourage and empower my fellow music therapists...a space in which music therapists could learn from (and support!) each other. In 2014, I enlisted the help of Michelle Erfurt and we launched Music Therapy E-books, LLC! Since then, I've seen a steady rise in the creation of e-books from my fellow therapists: from works about adaptive lessons, to session ideas for older adult groups, to research e-books on specific topics. I'm incredibly honored to be surrounded by such knowledgable and talented music therapy authors. I LOVE what I do!!
Being a music therapist is my dream job. Hands-down. After taking a bit of a winding path on the way to becoming a MT-BC (more on that, here), I was able to finish my B.A. in Communication Disorders from Truman State University and M.A. in Music Therapy from the University of Iowa. I currently work as a music therapist in the special education setting.
On the side, I enjoy all things web design, photography, writing e-books (“Children’s Songs for Therapy”, and, “Listen, Sing, Speak!”), jogging with Jolene (my 8 year old pup), solving crimes via Matlock & Murder She Wrote, eating too many fried pickles, and getting lost in new cities.
