Notelove hosted one of our favorite event- petting zoo on Friday, July 25th at Cupertino library. It's an oppurtunity we want to provide to all of our students to try out a variety of instruments, including trumpet, piano, and flute! We believe that music is about finding what one loves and through this event, children gain hands-on experience of how each instrument feels like, sounds like, and whether or not they like it! Both the instructors and students had so much fun at this event and we can't wait for the next petting zoo.

She went over what music therapy is, the requirements to pursue a career as a music therapist, as well where music therapists work.
“In terms of music therapy classes in college, I had a lot of fun in the first semester. The panel I presented today is basically an overview of what I did throughout music therapy class,” Riko explains. “[Music therapy] is a very nice class, and the professors are very caring. This semester, I’ll be visiting some senior homes to implement my music therapy knowledge–I’m quite excited!”
