It’s likely that you or someone you know has benefited from Music Therapy. You may not have been aware that it was music therapy, or that you and your loved ones could benefit from it as well.
And if you do already know about Music Therapy (which, if you are reading my blog, you probably do!), […]
I am extremely fortunate.
I’m fortunate and grateful for many things in my life, but lately I’ve been thinking about the amazing support I have in my profession.

The coolest thing to me is that I couldn’t […]
It’s getting to be that time of the year again!
Here in South Carolina, our professional association, The Music Therapy Association of South Carolina, meets twice a year. Meetings happen in the Fall and in the Spring, and we move the location about the state so that our professionals have a good chance of attending at […]

I have gotten up and spoken in front of a lot of different people: parents, children, doctors, professors, teachers, and the list goes on.
Never have I, as a professional, formally spoken to students in my field. Yesterday, I delivered the keynote for the opening session of the student conference. I spoke […]
I have a confession to make. Let’s make it two confessions…
Confession One: The first two years of my professional existence didn’t involve my professional association, The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).
Confession Two: During this time, I fell into professional love with Judy Simpson who is the Director of Government Relations for AMTA.

Ah, it’s a beautiful time of year. The air is crisp and clean, the leaves are brilliant colors, and off in Cleveland Ohio are over a thousand of my closest friends gathering to share and learn from each other about our wonderful profession.

I got some great responses! Here is a sampling:
“No one is quite sure what they do all day – or who pays their salaries!” From Rachelle at Soundscape Music Therapy.
