Here’s what others are saying about Tuneful Teens…

“When I first started out as a new music therapist, the population that intimidated me the most was the tween and teen crowd. That’s why I was so excited when my friend and fellow music therapist Amy Kalas launched her e-book, Tuneful Teens. Amy provides everything you need — step by step procedures, templates, sheet music, etc. — to implement the interventions in your music therapy sessions. I highly recommend Amy’s book, and also want to give her a shout-out for celebrating the first year of her wonderful blog, Wholesome Harmonies. It has grown leaps and bounds since last year, and I’m excited to watch it continue to do so!

“I REALLY enjoyed the Tuneful Teens book and am so glad I got it. It gave me a bunch of wonderful ideas for my individual and my group sessions! The things I’ve used the most so far since I purchased the book are the Auditory Perception Training (APT) exercises as well as the movement APT exercises. I’ve made Music Bingo sheets before, but for older adults with aphasia – I’ve never thought of making them for kids before, what a great idea! … Keep the good stuff comin’!”

“My favorite interventions were the instrument jams such as the call-and-response. These can be used with a group or with individuals. I have all individual clients so I feel I can use this intervention with them. I liked it when you also put in some song ideas because I am always looking for more!”
- Ashley Lundquist, MT-BC MT = Love

“Amy Kalas, MM, MT-BC has some great ideas in her e-book Tuneful Teens: Creative Ideas for Engaging Adolescents in Music Therapy. I just got it and have used it several times – my group really likes Musical Hangman right now. Very big hit! Great ideas with a sometimes tough population.”
- Jessica Edwards, MT-BC Therapeutic Harmony, LLC

“Loving it so far. Appropriate for many of my adult clients, too! Two thumbs up!”
- Connie Cheila Huettner, MA, MT-BC Music Therapy Ideas

“I love the music quiz game. I have used this activity with both adolescents and my adult groups. All I do is change up on some of the songs to meet the needs of the group. Also I love song writing and have used the song writing ideas with some of my children groups. Just to share I work on inpatient psych units. Thanks so much for this great resource.”
- Jennifer Hezoucky, MT-BC Life Song Therapy

“Tuneful Teens is a great resource to expand my repertoire and has provided me tools to work off in my practice. I like the variety of interventions and songs! Suggestions for making it better would be to simply add a second edition!”
- Kristin Noel Veteto, MT-BC KNV Music Therapy

“I’ve really liked having Tuneful Teens as a resource. I just started working with a group of girls age 11-12 and had no idea what kind of music to use or how to structure interventions, and your book came along at just the right time. Most of the girls have Auditory Processing Disorder so I’ve used the Auditory Perception Training exercises; I’ve done the hangman game (they loved it!); and the instrument call and response. I also put together my own cards for the guess who game and plan to use that with another group I’m doing, we’ll see how that goes. Thanks for putting this together, it’s a nice quick easy helpful resource.

“I purchased your ebook over the summer, but have just had a chance to use your ideas with the start of the school year. I started with musical hangman and I was very happy with how well it went! The classroom I used it in is a high school class of students fairly high on the autism spectrum and with the “just too cool for music therapy” attitude. Thank you, and I look forward to using some of your other ideas in the future!”

“I bought your book because frankly after two summers, I was scrapped for fresh ideas. My favorite thing about your book is that every activity comes with a template or some sort of example which allows me to quickly and easily see what you did and how I can adapt it for my groups. My favorite activity has been musical hangman. I have done similar things in the past, but I liked the addition of pulling a task out of a drum. I have yet to use your obstacle course idea, but I love it. Your book was just the push my brain needed to get my creative juices flowing again. Thank you!!”
