Two weeks ago, I launched The Attention & Perception E-Course, a course I am exceptionally proud of. It's about 10 years in the making, considering I started filming some of the technique demonstrations while working at United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) Miami back in 2010.

As music therapists and educators, we know the importance of using client-preferred music in our sessions, especially when working with teens.

Using client-preferred music engages [...]

2020-07-19T19:53:18+00:00July 19th, 2020|

I vividly remember the first time I led a music therapy session with a group of teen clients. I remember thinking it would be easy to build group cohesion among 30 adolescents that didn't know each other, and that we'd be songwriting and rapping in no time. Well, that wasn't exactly the case. It took [...]

Earlier this week, I walked out of my virtual music therapy sessions glowing.
