Sam Houston State University

"Kamica's presentation on songwriting in music therapy was the highlight of the weekend’s educational offerings and was a perfect way to close our time together.  Our students and faculty were fully engaged throughout herr presentation, both because of its content and her presentation style, and months later, they are still talking about our “Taco Song”!  Kamica has a special gift for inspiring this next generation of music therapists while giving them practical tools that they can immediately apply."
