Spend Time Creating: Watercolor swirls in pastel colors in the background. Text includes the following: “#MusicTherapyMaker,” “Saturdays at musictxandme.blogspot.com,” and the website URL: www.musictherapyworks.com.
It is Saturday again. It is also the start of my next break from work. It is time to spend some time creating and then sharing that creation with you all. So, what should it be? Should it be a folder activity? Or a game? Or a TME? Or another type of project completely? The nice thing about the directive on the picture - Spend Time Creating - does not specify any sort of creativity. Anything goes on this day!

This is the second Saturday where I am trying out a new blog post topic. My thoughts are preoccupied by events happening really soon, but I have plenty of things that I can share with others during these posts, so let's go for it! Here's an idea that I can share with you all !

I did not create this, but I now know how to generate a file like this. I went through the tutorial, and it is really easy, once you know how to make the code! Here it goes!!

Word Search Puzzle

I am in charge of the cultural monthly curriculum for our school, and one of the things that I like to make are word searches based on the culture and other versions based on the music that we are learning. Now, I like doing things, but I REALLY like doing things easily, so I went in search of an easy way to make these puzzles for my students. I was able to find a template that I really enjoy, and here is the template!! I love this template. It makes complete sense to me, and the author of Data Driven Manufacturing explains how to set up my own type of file in Excel for other types of files. I like this so much!

I don't have any of my word search puzzles here at home, but I use this file quite often to make up additional ways to impart information to my students. Some of them love the word searches and others do not. I love putting in secret messages as bonus words. 

How would you use this with your clients?? Let me know in the comments.

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 ...
