Little midweek vibraphone improv for your deep breaths.
Nice memory popped up on my computer today of a long-ago gig with @foret_endormie - since then, they've put out more and more incredible music. Go buy it at @bullmoosestores when you get a chance!
Notice how this very simple melody (which you may recognize if you have a cartoon lover in your life..) engages the person in laughter but also moves them to fill in the space after each phrase with a drum beat. The magic of rhythm! (Hint: it's not magic, it's science ;)). We are working on selective and sustained attention, turn taking, and expression. The joy is a fun side effect! #musictherapist #sessions #rhythm
Having a music group for the older siblings of our NICU babies this afternoon 🤩 thanks to Rachel, CCLS at @marchofdimes , for this fun idea! Always good to give siblings room for self-expression. #musictherapy #musicgroups #nicufamily #mainemusic

Just a wee jam on Sunny this morning before a client
Ive watched this many times so figured I'd share it: Jon Batiste essentially describing Environmental Music Therapy he provided to help Suleika get through treatment that became his beautiful recording "Butterfly". So inspired! And a great reminder that music & sound have been a source of healing throughout time, not just for humans but for the environment, for nature, for all. Everyone can access this source in creative expression 🌈💝🎶# #musictherapy #soundhealing #sloankettering #jonbatiste #thegreatteacher #thesource.#creativityn#creativeexpression #butterfly #pianist
10 years in to seeing patients at MMC and I've finally upgraded from the shopping-cart-full-of-holes to this beautiful cart! It seems like a small thing but allows me to do such better work by having all the tools with me when I go into a room. Some
10 years in to seeing patients at MMC and I've finally upgraded from the shopping-cart-full-of-holes to this beautiful cart! It seems like a small thing but allows me to do such better work by having all the tools with me when I go into a room. Some patients want to breathe with the sound of the ocean drum, some want to learn a song on piano, some want to record using an ipad. Thanks to the local band @nothingventured207 for raising money at their @mainecraftdistilling show and making this dream come true 💓🎶
