Tara Jenkins, MT-BC specializes in providing group and individual music therapy services for older adults and their caregivers. She is currently the Senior Staff Music Therapist at North Austin Music Therapy. She has spent the last 13 years working in the dementia field and during that time has held several different roles expanding her experience and receiving extensive training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Tara is extremely passionate about providing quality services for those living with dementia and feels strongly about creating meaningful connections, no matter who she is working with. She frequently presents on the topic of music therapy and dementia for caregivers and professionals and in 2017 she co-authored the book “Music, Memory, and Meaning.”
“Tara has successfully distilled over a decade’s worth of experience using music with those with dementia and their caregivers into a thorough but easy to follow course. Her approachable style and clinical expertise make her universally loved by her clients, in addition to being recognized for her work within the field of music therapy. She truly is an expert on the use of music therapy with those living with dementia and this course is perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals.”
“Tara’s time with the residents of our community is simply incredible. She enters a room, armed only with a music stand, her guitar and her voice, and the room COMES ALIVE. Anyone in our profession knows how challenging it can be to reach residents of a nursing home, in late stages of varying dementia’s, but Tara does just that, REACHES them. Seeing the response she gets puts a smile in my heart every time.”
