Music Therapy Webinar Series
Personal Retrogenesis: Follow Your Own Curve
Presented by Holly Semrow, MT-BC

While I started my education at Alverno because I knew I wanted to be a music therapist for children, it didn't take long for me to find that "old people" are my true calling. Now, 11 years into my career, I have supplemented the educational foundation Alverno provided with further research into the powerful link between early childhood and aging. This presentation will link my educational journey at Alverno to Retrogenesis theory to help attendees begin to achieve mastery in the mystery of memory care.
