We are thrilled to officially welcome Stephanie Epstein, MA, MT-BC, as Chair of the Ukulele Kids Club Board of Directors! 💛🎶
For those who know UKC’s story, Stephanie needs little introduction. We consider her a co-founder of the Ukulele Kids Club alongside Corey and Edda, thanks to the extraordinary role she has played in shaping our mission from its earliest years and ensuring that music therapy was at the very heart of what we do.
Stephanie is a nationally recognized music therapist, educator, and leader. She established the music therapy program at Holtz Children’s Hospital at UM/Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she serves as lead music therapist and internship director, and she is also the founder of Harmonic Health Music Therapy, providing pediatric music therapy services across South Florida.
Her work has been featured by NBC Nightly News, Miami Herald, Huffington Post, and U.S. News & World Report, and her leadership has earned numerous honors, including being named a 2025 Centennial Medalist by the University of Miami Frost School of Music and receiving the Sebastian Strong Foundation C.A.P.E. Award for her commitment to children facing cancer.
Most importantly to us, Stephanie has spent years advocating for the power of music therapy and helping UKC grow into an organization that supports pediatric music therapy programs around the world one session at a time.
We could not imagine a better person to help lead UKC into its next chapter. Please join us in congratulating our new Board Chair, Stephanie Epstein! 💛🌎🎶
