Matthew Jordan, MT-BCMatthew is the head music therapist and owner of Music Makes Connections. After receiving a BA in music from Brigham Young University in 2002 Matthew worked at a nonpublic special education school in Sacramento, CA. It was here he realized his desire to use music to help people improve their quality of life. Two years later Matthew returned to school at Utah State University to complete an equivalency in music therapy. After completing his internship in Salt Lake City, UT and receiving his Music Therapy Board Certification (MT-BC), Matthew decided to move with his family to Boise, ID and begin work as a music therapist.
Matthew began working in hospice as a music therapist in March 2008 and in 2012 made the move to owning his own music therapy company. He works with a wide variety of populations including children and adults with developmental disabilities, patients with aphasia and adults with dementia. Matthew loves how music can help people achieve non-musical goals that provide positive changes in their life and is committed to providing all his clients with a therapeutic experience that will be most beneficial to them and their individual needs. When not working with clients Matthew spends time educating local community groups and community leaders about the benefits of music therapy, serving as a board member of the Idaho Music Therapy Association and spending time with his wife and 8 children. |
