Randomness...

For the last two days, I have not been able to formulate a coherent thought for this blog. I have tried. I started countless thoughts that either took off into a rant that had NOTHING to do with music, therapy, or me, OR I just started rambling around and around. So, I've decided to just go with it. Here are the things that I started this week. I will stop the topics before I turn them into rants since that's why I've deleted them. Time for my random thoughts to come spurting out for all to read about...

Failed Blog Post #1 - The Temperature - It is hot outside. It's not as hot as it will be getting later in the season, but this is the first taste of summer weather for us this year. The heat affects me in strange ways, and I'm sure that my students are affected as well. This week's sessions have certainly been out of the ordinary - some kids have burst into tantrums. Others have been very helpful when they do not give me the time of day during most sessions. It's just been strange. During times like these, I wonder if my attitude, feelings, and internal situations are overshadowing my clients' or if we are all sharing the same type of feelings, attitudes, and internal situations. All I know is that I am hot, sticky, achy, and finding it difficult to breathe in this hot, wet air...

Failed Blog Post #2 - Where Have All the Bloggers Gone? - One of the things that I like to do when I have a bit of time that needs to be filled is to explore the world of music therapy blogs. Nothing frustrates me more than to find what I consider to be the perfect blog post written by a music therapist that has good ideas and then find that the blogger hasn't continued writing. I always want more. So, if you are going to start a music therapy blog, please write in it! I'm out there looking for you and your thoughts - no matter how important you think they are. Please share!!

Failed Blog Post #3 - Learning the Calendar - I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. It wasn't. It was Wednesday. I was very disappointed when I figured out that it was Wednesday. This isn't because I dread my Wednesdays - much the opposite. I enjoy the classroom groups and students that I have on Wednesdays. They are very enjoyable, but for some reason this week, Wednesday was not something that I was anticipating with positive thoughts. I blame the weather. The overnight temperatures hover around 80 degrees Fahrenheit so there really isn't any relief from the heat. Maybe that has something to do with it...

Failed Blog Post #4 - Ideas - Ideas just keep popping into my head for short periods of time and then flee as quickly as they arrive...

Failed Blog Post #5 - The Mess is Taking Over - enough said?

Failed Blog Post #6 - Sjkjgpoiaser SDfpaouulsdknf - My brain has officially overheated and is gone...

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea...

Songwriting Sunday: Repetition

Image
One of the things that I find to be helpful with my client population (children, adolescents, and young adults with dual diagnoses) is repetition of phrases, lyrics, and music. As a result of 30+ years of working with this population in various iterations, I have found that my clients respond the most to songs with three repeated phrases to prime their responses with a different phrase to communicate the important part of the experience. DISCLAIMER: This is not a definite way to write music for clinical interactions. This is what seems to work well with my particular group of human beings. Don't go to your supervisors and tell them that I told you that this is the ONLY way to write music - It is NOT! You have to find what works for your clients and for their clinical goals. Since my clients respond well to this type of song, I tend to write songs in this format more than any other. What I have found is that my clients remember these songs more than the ones that I do in different f...

Being An Internship Director: On Hiatus

Image
It has been long enough since I have had an intern that I am seriously feeling like I have little to say on the subject. At the same time, I am currently writing Chapter 5 of my general internship handbook, so I am able to write about being an intern and what types of things to think about during this important time in our professional development. It is a strange place to be in, and it is one that is a bit challenging for me. Right now, I have had three vacant internship positions since the beginning of the calendar year. I will have a vacant position next month and that will be an entire year of rejected offers. In the past nine months, I have offered positions to three applicants who have declined. It is interesting how people complain that there aren't enough internship programs, but programs like mine are empty. I guess there aren't enough internship programs that pay large stipends (which mine cannot) out there. I get it. It is interesting to me how we have moved from an ...
