Grant is dope.
Enough said.
But in all honesty, Grant is a board-certified music therapist fueled by coffee works with individuals with disabilities across the lifespan in clinical, community, and school-based settings. He attended the University of Evansville for his undergraduate coursework and completed his internship at Denton Independent School District in Denton, TX. He is currently pursuing his Masters. Grant has presented at workshops and conferences at the regional, national, and international levels on topics including community music therapy and the development of musical identity and the impact of music therapy in that process.
Grant Hales has hosted 24 Episodes.
