Last but definitely not least of our newest group of interns, welcome Sara to the Brevard FMT Team!

Hello! I’m Sara DeSimone and I’m a new intern at Florida Music Therapy in Brevard County, Melbourne. I am originally from New Jersey and studied at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami. I love a variety of music and I sang with the Frost Chorale for three years. I enjoy singing musical theatre the most, but I enjoy all genres of music. I played clarinet in public school from fourth grade on, and I played the cello starting in eighth grade. I love that Music Therapy creates a safe environment for participants to work toward their goals in a noninvasive format, and that music provides a perfect structure for targeting a diverse and extensive range of non-musical goals covering all domains of daily life. For self care, I like to take care of myself through cardio, strength training, and meditation. I enjoy calling and spending time with family and friends, watching familiar shows, skiing (not in Florida), and outdoor activities including but not limited to going to the beach, paddle boarding, skateboarding, and biking. I am so excited to be here at FMT for my internship!
