Does it seem interesting that a post about the library starts with the phrase "Rockin' Out?" Typically you think about being very, very quiet in the library, but with the music therapy programs offered through Wholesome Harmonies, we are anything but quiet! Since 2010, I've been facilitating music therapy programs at Miami-Dade Public Library System. [...]
For as long as I can remember, whenever someone's asked for a resource when it comes to children's music I've heard people recommend Laurie Berkner. To be really honest, I never paid much attention to it. First, because at the time I didn't have a baby of my own. And second, because I write [...]
It's March already?! I feel like I say that every month, but this month I really cannot believe it! Here at Wholesome Harmonies we are keeping busy! Allison's schedule is filling up quickly with music therapy sessions and music lessons and we had a fantastic time co-facilitating music therapy sessions at Beyond the Spectrum Autism [...]

As another year draws to a close, I cannot help but look back with gratitude and look forward with hope and excitement. Here's why... In 2014, I brought on two new music therapists to take [...]

Things are cooling off here in Miami and it's beginning to feel a lot like....spring? With temperatures in the 70s it's hard to believe we're gearing up for the holidays, but we are and I can't wait!
