Motto:Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Marguerita Lopez, Ph.D., is a globally acclaimed specialist in the psychology of music and its impact on human behavior.

On a sunny Monday morning in March 2024, Marguerita found herself in the heart of Barcelona, Spain, where she was invited to speak at the International Music Therapy Conference. The vibrant city buzzed with the sounds of street performers and the chatter of excited attendees. Marguerita's presentation on the intersection of music therapy and neuroscience was met with great enthusiasm, sparking lively discussions among the audience.
In addition to her research, Marguerita is passionate about teaching. She has been a senior instructor at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, where she integrates music and psychology.
