Professional Bio
As a board-certified music therapist, licensed professional counselor, singer/songwriter and voice teacher, Maevon Gumble’s work centers on the intersections of gender, sexuality, identity, voice, embodiment, trauma and mental health. They completed both their bachelor’s (2016) and master’s (2019) degrees in music therapy and gender studies at Slippery Rock University, and are working on a doctorate in vocal pedagogy at Shenandoah University. As a co-developer of the Liberatory Music Therapy Model of Gender Affirming Voicework, they co-created the first training program of its kind to support music therapists in learning how to facilitate this work. Gumble has published and presented nationally on topics related to gender affirming voicework, vocal pedagogy and queering music therapy practice and serves as an article editor for Voices: A World Forum for Music Therapy.
It is a great joy to transition into the visiting faculty position, having already been a part of Shenandoah’s music therapy community as a graduate assistant. I’m eager to contribute to the program’s continued growth and excellence and look forward to the academic year ahead.”
