TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“Ariel is a key asset to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s therapeutic programming. His Music Therapy programs always uplift and enlighten our community members and their caregivers. Ariel provides versatile music, which reaches many cultures and backgrounds. He creates a safe and comforting space for all that participate. During the Corona Virus pandemic, Ariel provided monthly virtual Music Therapy sessions that were unique, meaningful, and playful. He continues to be a light in our community, both within our in-person programming and virtual therapeutic programming.”
Jackie Gatto, MS, R-DMT
“Ariel has made a huge impact in our hospital’s culture through the groundbreaking music therapy program he has facilitated over the past 8 years. He has a gift for connecting with patients of all ages and cultural backgrounds, making them feel safe and comfortable with his therapeutic presence and outstanding musicality. Our patient experience and staff wellness have been greatly improved by having music therapy in the hospital”.
Angela Toni Russo , MS, RN, AHN-BC
“We hired Ariel and Berko Music Therapy to help my mother manage her symptoms of dementia. Music therapy didn’t only improve her life and brought back meaning, but it also helped my father better connect with her and cope with her illness. It was truly a meaningful and heart-warming experience”.
