Regional Conference Season is Upon Us
It's that time of year again in the world of music therapy - regional conference time! Music therapists from all over various regions are converging upon hapless citizens who have little to no idea what is going on, mayors are making proclamations about music therapy days and weeks, and music therapy concepts are bubbling out of the conference hotels and in the stairwells (where some of our compatriots spent part of their conference last night).
I am a big fan of getting music therapists together in ways that allow for the creative thought process to bloom. One music therapist is a creative person. Two music therapists increase the creativity - creativity squared. Put a couple hundred music therapists in one room and our creative power is limitless!
I am wondering what types of conversations are going on right now. (Since it's early, probably "Where's Starbucks?") I hope people are giving some serious consideration to the trends in our profession right now. I hope they are making music together - we are, after all, music therapists first and foremost! I hope my fellow music therapists are remembering to respect others, especially those they do not agree with.
At this time, my region has two and a half weeks before our conference. We traditionally have one of the later conferences during this season. Everyone else will be whooping it up with other therapists, but we have to wait until most of the hoopla is over before we get our turn.
Have a safe, wonderful, creative time, fellow therapists! Enjoy your time together, and I'll see you again in November here in Kansas City!
