This Is Why I Need Themes to Write About

I am sitting at my computer, listening to an episode of J.A.G., and wondering what I can possibly write about on this morning. This is why I need themes. I like having enough structure that I can predict what I will write about on most days, especially at the start of the work week. I don't always follow the structure, but I like having it in place.

I started my Songwriting Sunday series two days ago. I continued with my Internship Supervision series yesterday, but I am not interested in doing anything with therapeutic music experiences (TMEs) this morning. I feel like I have done everything I can do with that particular topic right now. Until I get inspired with a new way to think about TMEs, I think Tuesdays will be something else entirely.

I just don't know what they will end up being.

Finger update - I have been playing the guitar for the past six days. My finger still hurts, but I am able to bend my finger enough to get all the chords and the strength seems to be okay - no buzzing strings or missed finger placements, so I am feeling pretty good about it all. It has been funny to watch my clients realize that I am playing the guitar instead of the keyboard. Some of my students have never seen me play the guitar before. It has been a long six months of playing the keyboard, let me tell you! 

My guitar is so much a part of me. It is nice to be able to play it again.

Doot. Doot. Doot. I am just not able to think this morning. I wonder what is going on. We are getting ready for some heavy winds which should help with the overwhelming humidity we had yesterday. I am hoping that today's temperatures will be more tolerable inside my room. It is difficult to function when things get too hot. I am okay in hot temperatures if I have some moving air, but my music therapy room does not have any air movement that I can find. It gets hot and smelly in there.

Oh. It just thundered outside. I guess we are having some storm activity. That wasn't on the weather report. Interesting. Oh fun. We have a forecast of occasional thunderstorms and are currently under a tornado watch. Pays to check all the weather apps that I can access. So, we are currently experiencing 100% humidity and stormy weather. That's something that will change my morning plans.

For now, though, I am going to take a shower, get in my car, buy gasoline, and go to work. I have an extra planning hour this morning that I will fill with something. I am sure that I will find something to do. I can always clean my storage room. It needs it.

See you tomorrow for some sort of post - probably.

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 ...
