Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh

So, this is the beginning of a challenge offered to me by my interns who liked something I said and thought that I should write about things - a cautionary story of sorts - that apply to internship experiences. I think it will be a fun way to share information, but we'll see.

I hope to have my first installment this next week, but I have other things going on right now (check out the Online Conference for Music Therapy - starts in six days from this post), so this may not come to fruition until after next weekend. It may start during next weekend - things get pretty goofy during OCMT!

Here's the idea...

Premise: A series of blog posts about a completely fictional music therapy internship program.

Characters: 
Bertha Bigglesworth - the music therapy mentor, scion of all things musical in the town of Anywhere.

Felicity Fiddle - the music therapy intern, coming to learn at the feet of the master. 

Penelope Pennyman - the administrator at the facility, Anywhere Health, supervisor of Bertha and unsure about music therapy at all!

Corey Correlation - Amateur musician, occasional volunteer musician, and advocate of all things musical. Assisting with building statistical models to demonstrate effectiveness of music therapy treatment at Anywhere Health. Penelope's nephew.

Dr. Alita Anneyian - Felicity's academic director at Faraway University.

Dahlia Domoore - Felicity's closest friend from Faraway University, also doing her internship but at Spectacular Health in Spectaculopolis - she has a stipend!!

Zenia Zimmerman - Dahlia's Internship Director at Spectacular Health. Big shot in the music therapy world.


I need another male protagonist before getting ready to start the saga. Any suggestions for names?? As you can see, I like alliteration, so think about some names for the rich donor who wants to completely fund music therapy services in honor of his mother.



Time to head out into the world and keep this percolating. It will be interesting, to say the least!!
