Are you struggling to come up with new ideas for your sessions each week?

Is your time super limited for creating materials?

Or, do you just need a creative boost?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then I have a resource that will be right up your alley. It’s called Elevate.

Elevate is an email idea subscription designed to help you infuse creativity and FUN into your music therapy sessions with school-age & teen clients with autism & related disabilities.

It’s pre-approved by the Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT) for 10 continuing education credits per package (for music therapists) and 10 professional development credits (for educators). With five packages available, you can earn a total of 50 continuing ed credits.

Here’s how it works – 

There are three parts to Elevate: monthly Musical Experience Ideas sent straight to your inbox, Creativity Worksheets, and instructor support.

Musical Experience Ideas: You’ll receive one package of session ideas straight to your inbox at the beginning of each month, for a total of 6 months. You can choose from the Teen Package, the Attention & Perception Package, the Holidays & Themes Package, or the Combo Pack.

The ideas will be in PDF format and include step-by-step instructions, as well as all the information you’ll need to prepare and facilitate the musical experiences. This includes lyrics, MP3s, visuals, musical game templates, or listening guides.

Each month will target a different skill or goal area, and you’ll receive brand new ideas to spark your creativity.

Creativity Worksheets: With each month’s idea, you’ll also receive a Creativity Worksheet that prompts you to plan out goals, objectives, and musical experiences to work on the skill or goal area with your own unique clients. This will double or triple the number of ideas you walk away with!

Instructor Support: In addition, you’ll have email access to ask me questions and get support, as needed. I’m trained in Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) and have 20 years of experience working with children and teens with autism and related disabilities. I teach music therapy courses virtually for University of Miami and have research published in the Journal of Music Therapy.

Support questions can be about any topics related to (but not limited to):

  • Creating goals, objectives, & musical experiences
  • Implementing & adapting techniques for your unique clients
  • Building rapport
  • Group management
  • Determining musical preferences & learning repertoire
  • How to navigate challenging situations
  • Using pop music in a therapeutic manner (one of my favorite topics!)
  • Or any topic relevant to the content in the packages you receive each month

You’ll earn the continuing education credits when you complete and return all the Creativity Worksheets. Simple as that!

Here’s how to sign up – 

Elevate is usually $140 per package. But now through August 31st, each individual package will be on sale for half off – only $70. That’s $70 for the six months of email ideas, Creativity Worksheets, instructor support, and 10 CMTE credits.

You can also purchase the Combo Pack 1, which includes both the Teen 1 & Attention 1 Packages + 20 CMTEs. That’s double the ideas and double the CMTEs for only $135.

Or, the Combo Pack 2, which includes both the Teen 2 & Attention 2 Packages. Same deal – 20 CMTEs for $135.

These Combo Packs are the most popular options by far :)

PLUS, I’m including some bonus material for ya ⬇️

“Keeping Things Cool For Your Teen Clients” has tips on where to find the latest music, how to keep experiences age appropriate AND cool, and how to use client preferred music that may seem – ahem, not so therapeutic.

You might be feeling like you need a little kick start to your creativity. Or, like you need some fresh ideas for your middle and high school-aged clients. Whatever the need, I’ve got you covered!
