Last week, I posted about the Music Therapy in ACTION page, and how music therapists can use it to get new ideas and watch videos to see what different techniques look like when implemented. In that post, I highlighted the sections on the Cognitive, Sensory & Motor/Physical domains. But there's more! On the Music Therapy [...]

Music Therapy in ACTION!

I don't know about you, but when I'm learning new music therapy techniques, I love to see them IN ACTION. It's one thing to read about techniques in a book or hear about them in class, and it's another to see them being implemented in an actual session with clients. That's why I created a [...]

Two weeks ago I started a new blog series that I was SUPER excited about: how we can use music therapy interventions to address cognitive function. And then... ...my website decided it did not want to play nice anymore. I had a few little glitches occur, which is why the blog post for last Wednesday [...]

Happy Holiday season! I'm so happy to be writing this post with the lights from our Christmas tree twinkling next to me.

Advocacy on AmericaTeve
