About Us

Hello! My name is Elisabeth Joy and I am the founder of The Joy of Music. The Joy of Music was born in 2005 out of my love for music, a dedication to people and a zeal for the relationship between the two.

I received my Bachelor of Music in music therapy and trumpet performance from The University of Iowa and graduated with distinction in 2005. I was accepted at The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for my internship where I worked on behavioral health and medical units. After completing the Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT), I was allowed the credentials MT-BC (Music Therapist-Board Certified).

Here at The Joy of Music, our goal is to create JOY everyday.

• Through music therapy, where a persons' social, emotional, cognitive, physical, behavioral and communication skills are improved.
• Through teaching private music lessons.
• Through one of our many enrichment programs, such as Music and Me, Guitar Camp or Music Adventures.

We are here to bring about positive change through the influence of music.
