Rachel Kucera’s passion began in high school, when her grandfather was in the nursing home. He had multiple illnesses which impacted his speech. One afternoon, a music therapist visited her grandfather and Kucera saw how the music brought life to her grandfather’s eyes. He was also able to sing lyrics to his most favorite songs after not being able to speak for so long.
Kucera went on to Wartburg College, receiving a Bachelors of Music Education with Music Therapy degree in 2014. She has lived in Salt Lake City, Utah since graduation – driven by her passion; spending several years at the Primary Children’s Hospital as well as different schools. Ignite Music Therapy LLC, was designed to provide music therapy and music lessons to private clients.
“I didn’t think she would ever be able to speak and now she is singing karaoke with us and saying words like “medicine”! It is all because of music therapy! It encouraged her to start talking and it was just a starting point and her language skills have been growing so rapidly ever since. Thank you!” – Parent of a 2 year old, Kucera is providing her services to.
