<p class="MsoNormal">Carolyn Moore is a friend of mine. You will LOVE interacting with her. She really wants a psychology graduate student to do this. Might want to learn about Music Therapy. Their students have to be musicians first. Then they learn a
lot about counseling. A team visits my mother weekly during the long terms; they play music and sing with her. She LOVES it and looks forward to it. They have added a lot to her quality of life.<o:p></o:p></p>
