In this Episode of Voice of Music Therapy we sit down with Professor Kara Caine, MT-BC, MME, to discuss her research regarding fathers and infant-directed singing. Learn all about how fathers have their own unique interactions with infants and how this may influence music therapy practice for all clinicians.
