Staff Profile: Erin Shoemaker

You may have seen a new face around the office . . .

Welcome to Erin, who became a part of the MTEC team this fall!

Hometown: North Olmsted , Ohio

Education: Bachelor's of Music Therapy from Eastern Michigan University

Music Therapy Internship: Lincoln Park Public School System in Lincoln Park, MI

Instruments: Voice, guitar, piano, flute, piccolo

Professional interests: Using sign language with song, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and Parkinson’s Disease.

Music Therapy Philosophy: I believe that music has the power to change people’s lives. When live music is tailored to meet a client's specific needs, music therapy can help them not only reach goals in a therapeutic setting, but also apply those skills to real world living.

What do you do outside of MTEC? I love to do local theatre! I’m currently in rehearsals for Joseph and the Amazing Technocolored Dream Coat at the Beck Center for the Arts.

Did you know? I did a polar plunge out in Ann Arbor Michigan for the American Heart Association.
