Enough Is Enough

I am once again sitting in front of my keyboard, staring at the blinking cursor, wondering what I will be writing about in the next hour or so. I don't know if you noticed, but I didn't write much last week. I just couldn't for some reason. Now, this doesn't mean that I didn't do anything last week - I actually composed several songs, figured out several conundrums, and completed lots of things on my task lists. I limited my YouTube watching at work and found some more productive tasks to accomplish. So, overall, it was a good week. I am not sure why blogging went by the wayside, but it did.

It is a bit silly, actually, that I have these types of blocks. This blog is not meant to be anything extremely research-based or even all that important to other people, but it is a place for me to write about my journey through life as a music therapist. There are some times when I focus a bit more on the "me" part of "music, therapy, and me" than on the other parts of the triad, but that's my prerogative. It's my blog. If you don't like what I write, then don't read it. (In all honesty, I've only had one negative experience with writing this blog, and I believe that the person who protested didn't even bother to read what I had written.) I figure that those of you who read this (even when I don't post on social media about it all) find something in this exercise that keeps you coming back. I had one person tell me once that they started reading my blog because their mother found it - the pull for that person was that I was A) a music therapist who B) liked cats.

Hey, I'll take it! I figure that anyone who gets here is looking for something, and I hope that I can give them something of what they want...but, that's not why I write about my life as a music therapist.

I write about my life as a music therapist because it is something I feel called to do. I love writing, I love music therapy, and I love sharing music with other people whether it be through a therapeutic relationship or through other venues. This blog has become part of my identity as a human, and I am comfortable with that thought.

It is time to get myself back into the routine of writing again. For years, I had a series of posts going. I got out of that routine several years ago, but I want to start that up again. I think I will get back into my TME Tuesday posts. It is well past time to find some structure again. Other series may return or I may shift into other types of posts as I get back into the routine of writing. Are there any topics that you want me to write about? New ones? Old ones? I am wondering if there are any topics that I used to talk about that seemed to help others as much as myself...

So, TME Tuesday starts on the 27th. I have some new ones to share!! Can't wait.

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 ...
