In this episode, we are speaking with Steffi Friyia, Vice President of the Music Therapy Association of Ontario. She is a recent graduate of the University of Toronto Master’s in Music and Health Sciences program and she will tell us about her academic experience and research. We wrap things up by discussion Steffi’s volunteer experiences and why this is important for the next generation of music therapists.

Here is a little more about Steffi:
Steffi is a recent MA graduate of the Music and Health Sciences program at the University of Toronto. With a decade of experience as a certified music therapist, Steffi has embarked on a new venture by founding "Neurologic Music Therapy Services of Ontario," where her focus is specifically on working with stroke patients in the next chapter of her career. In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Steffi remains actively involved in academia. Until the end of June 2024, she dedicates her expertise to assisting current PhD students with their research projects. These projects explore the impact of music on individuals dealing with stroke, autism, depression, and suicide. Notably, Steffi has also been hired as a casual research assistant for the Centre of Depression and Suicide Studies at St. Michael's Hospital. Currently, Steffi leads the Toronto-Area Music Therapists group. Concurrently, she serves as the Vice-President of the MTAO Board of Directors, contributing to the advancement and governance of the field. Steffi's commitment to the intersection of music and health continues to shape both her professional journey and the broader landscape of music therapy.

Contact Adrienne for Supervision
Cathy is a leader in business development across Canada. She is passionate about helping people discover their own talents and gifts in the areas of personal and professional development. She partnered with Adrienne to establish Beyond the Studio because of the vision of the organization. To nurture a love of music in all clients and students. Music is such a critical part of our world and Beyond the Studio offers a gateway in which people can experience more of it, through therapy and lessons. She has seen first hand the joy and milestones that can be reached through music therapy. I'm excited that we are able to help more people through our psychotherapy services launched in the fall of 2023.
