Waiting For My Bananas to Ripen

That would be a good title for a song - waiting for my bananas to ripen.

I am a picky banana eater - I do not like green bananas and they have to be at just the right amount of yellow before I will eat them. The bananas that I got yesterday are still green. One should be just about right either tonight or tomorrow morning. The others still need a couple of days to be just right for me.

One of my biggest frustrations and challenges in life is having to wait for certain things to happen before other things can be done. Usually, the things that I have to wait on are things that are not mine to do, so that makes the frustration and challenge that much more. If I am the reason behind the waiting period, I can handle it so much better than if I have to wait for someone else to do their part of the job. I hated group projects in school for this very reason.

I am currently in a bit of a waiting pattern right now with my office/closet space.

I am waiting for a cabinet to arrive so I can move things around so I can move out of my office into my closet. I am waiting for a desk. I am waiting to know if there are other plans going on before I do all sorts of work. In addition, my Promethean board is sitting there, waiting for me to start working on it in my music therapy sessions. I have a full brain, but I am waiting.

Today, I want to move the large file cabinet from my office area to under the Promethean board. I will take the books and files from that cabinet, move them to the closet, and then move the file cabinet to its new home under the Promethean Board. I will then move some of my Sub Plan supplies to that cabinet so students have things to do when I am absent. I have to be careful about what I leave out and accessible because things get destroyed pretty rapidly - reality of working in a place where others are not as concerned about my stuff as I am. I also want to find out if I can turn the darn board off! Kids are "using" the board more than I want them to be "using" the board in music therapy - AKA, leaving the group to turn on the board whenever they want...that's not going to happen in my room. I do not want students deciding what we are doing in music therapy during groups. That's my job!

The to-do list is filling up.

Wait for the bananas to ripen.

See you tomorrow for TME Tuesday.

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 ...
