Music Therapist Starter Pack (Part 3): The many hats of a music therapist.

In honor of Music Therapy Week this week, we are highlighting some of the similarities between music therapists in the midst of each therapist's unique strengths! Music therapists are often:
• caring, listening, and advocating for our clients
• throwing any session plans out the window to adapt in the moment
• observing small moments in sessions and gathering clinical data
• getting creative, continuing to grow, and problem solving as issues arise

Having a sense of humor also often brings needed levity to our jobs and interactions with others. 🤪

If you're like us, you're in the right place! Follow along if you're looking for people who get it, FREE resources, and maybe a company to join. We'd love to get to know you. 🧡

I’m back at it again with my DIY egg shakers. I found these adorable bunnies at At Home & snagged them to use this spring with clients! I love having a theme shaker to spice up sessions for some motor skills practice, prompting additional discussion, and creativity.

These are so easy to put together - just add a filler (you could use popcorn kernels, rice, beans, beads, etc) and hot glue it shut.

Follow along for more music therapy session ideas and materials! 🎶

Another great year at the GLR conference! I’m grateful I got to share it with my team, my business colleagues, and my co-presenters. It was the first time presenting at conference and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to share with our community. A special thanks too to Dr. Deforia Lane for sharing her faith and being an encouragement in the keynote session. So good to see so many familiar and new faces! 🧡

I heard this song last week and IMMEDIATELY started dreaming about how it could be turned into songwriting for several of my music therapy sessions. Here’s some inspiration for you - if you’re wanting a full, 4 verse PDF version make sure you join our email list! It’s going out by the end of the week. 🤩

Good luck getting this tune out of your head, it’s SO catchy. 🎶
