Mr. Jason Noble
Work Phone
Member Bio Dr. Jason Noble, conductor and educator whose groundbreaking PRISM Arts Education Research Initiative transforms how we understand trauma and neurodiversity in music education will undergo an innovative brain procedure on Dec. 17 at New York Presbyterian to treat Essential Tremor (ET), a condition he's lived with throughout his career. The neurological disorder, which causes involuntary shaking, nearly shattered Noble's conducting aspirations when leading figures in classical music dismissed his tremors as mere nervousness and anxiety. As a result, he channeled his experience into founding the PRISM Arts Initiative and emerging as a powerful voice for neurodiversity in music education. The press release is embedded below. If you'd like to speak to Noble about his procedure and neurodiversity in music education please contact me at (717) 253-6433.
