About

Thanks for stopping by! I’m Kristen Macleod Smith. Ever since I began piano lessons at age 9, my life has always been music and I love it! I have been a Music Therapist now for nearly 12 years and currently own a private practice within the beautiful Scottish Highlands. I have taught instrumental lessons and music for additional needs in many different forms and countries for over 15 years. I have an honours degree in Music with Piano Performance and a double masters degree in Music Therapy and counselling. I am a UK HCPC registered music therapist and also an American Board certified Music Therapist MT-BC.  The instruments i focus on in my work are piano, woodwind, drumming, violin, guitar and world percussion. 

Sharing music and connecting with others through music is my passion. I work with children and adults of all ages, stages and abilities, in educational, medical and community settings. I am lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world that inspires so much music creativity.  When I’m not providing music therapy sessions through my private practice- Harmony Music Therapy Scotland, you can find me and my family out exploring the beautiful scenery of my cultural roots.  I usually have my 2 year old daughter Sophia leading the way. Outdoors seems to be her middle name, although she does LOVE to sing and make her own music. Her dad likes to think hes musical too…..lets leave that there!!
