哈伯特对音乐疗法——在治疗环境中使用音乐——的兴趣在第一次世界大战期间发展起来. A classically trained pianist, 她在法国为军队提供娱乐,并亲眼目睹了音乐对受伤和炮弹休克的士兵的治疗效果.

After the war, 哈伯特回到了新英格兰的家,后来又向西旅行, where she met her future husband Dr. Ellis Harbert, a well-known surgeon and co-founder of St. Joseph’s Medical Center. The Harberts settled in the Central Valley, 威廉敏娜·哈伯特和她的商业伙伴阿德里安娜·普费尔在那里为当地儿童建立了橡树家庭音乐学校.

哈伯特就读于正规博彩十大网站,获得了两个学士学位和一个硕士学位. She began teaching in the Conservatory of Music in 1935, 在那里她最终被指派发展音乐治疗专业.

哈伯特在太平洋医院教了20多年的书,并在学校和斯托克顿社区与儿童和病人一起工作了几十年.

After retiring in 1959, Harbert remained active on campus, consulting, lecturing, 为音乐专业学生提供咨询,并在专业音乐治疗协会担任领导职务.

She died in 1970. 她关于音乐治疗的书《正规博彩十大网站排名》(Opening Doors Through music)四年后出版.

“Her attitude was that, even if only one human being could be reached, rehabilitated, saved or find a place in society, then a music therapy student’s efforts were worthwhile,” said Harbert’s grandson Brian Ellsworth.

Earlier this year Ellsworth, his brother Bill and daughter Melissa, 给了太平洋公司大量哈伯特的个人档案, including original book manuscripts, 她对孩子们的观察和她在欧洲旅行的剪贴簿. 这些藏品将被安置在大学的霍尔特-阿瑟顿特别收藏和档案馆.

“Wilhelmina’s legacy, in my opinion, 太平洋在世界上赢得了治疗和帮助的地位吗, science and inquiry, 源于一个人的认识,即音乐不仅仅是为了娱乐或表演, but is an avenue to minds hidden or scarred,” Bill Ellsworth said.
