We are very impressed with the work that Nejama has been doing with Jeremy. Two years of weekly sessions of music therapy have gone by and recently we have begun transitioning to actual piano lessons. Nejama is tremendously resourceful and creative. She notices the nuances about the person in front of her, their motivations, their interests; She finds ways to address these in her choice of songs, games and activities. Jeremy is learning some rock songs and blues too. He is only 11yrs.old. He also loves jazz, so by Nejama choosing to play to his strengths, he is keen to practice and particularly attentive during lesson time. Nejama never seems to tire in her enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge and expertise. She communicates with us regularly about Jeremy’s progress. She is patient and flexible when Jeremy has off days.
