2018 Inaugural Benefit Concert & Party in Memory of Kay Sherwood Roskam
Come celebrate what would have been Dr. Kay Roskam's 83rd birthday!
Kay was invited to start the Music Therapy program at Long Beach State University, Long Beach CA in 1974. At Long Beach State, she helped develop the entire undergraduate and graduate curriculum and the program received accreditation from the National Association for Music Therapy. Despite the demands of starting the new program, she also completed her PhD from the University of Kansas in Music Education/Therapy in 1977. While at Long Beach State, Kay supervised more than 200 students who went on to practice as Registered and Board Certified music therapists throughout the country. She was known as an inspirational teacher and mentor to students. She was particularly known for mentoring and advocating for students with non-traditional backgrounds.
Upon the closure of the CSULB MT Program, She advocated to keep this Music Therapy Program in SoCal and moved to Chapman University, Orange, CA in 1993 as a Professor of Music and Director of Music Therapy to re-established and continue the Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy in 1995. Her book Feeling the Sound: The Influence of Music on Behavior, San Francisco Press was published in 1993 and has had multiple printings. While at Chapman she received grants from the Weingart Foundation and REMO, Inc. for research into the use of music therapy with adolescents. Kay served on many committees at the campus, state and national levels. Kay was president of the American Music Therapy Association from 2000-2001. At Chapman, Kay was again recognized as an outstanding mentor and teacher and advocate for those of all backgrounds. Her mentees and students have gone on to be successful music therapists in a variety of settings and some have been influential in Music Departments/Music Therapy Programs across the county.
