Song writing in music therapy isn’t about creating something perfect, it’s about creating something real.
It offers a safe way to express what can feel hard to say out loud, to process experiences at your own pace, and to connect more deeply with yourself (and sometimes others too).
Because it’s personal, flexible, and guided, it meets you exactly where you are…no pressure, just support.
Does this sound like something that might resonate with you? Or maybe you have a child who you think would like learning how to express themselves through music and the written word?
Our Glissando Foundations Package is purposely designed to help you or your child find the tools within Music Therapy that may benefit you to reach your goals.

One tool we often use in Music Therapy is the ‘match then shift’ approach…
The “match then shift” approach means starting with music that reflects how you’re actually feeling, rather than how you think you should feel 🎶

For example, when emotions are high, calm music can feel disconnected and unhelpful
But when you match music to your current feelings…loud, fast, or intense if needed, it helps your nervous system feel understood
Once that connection is made, the music can gradually slow or soften, gently guiding your body and emotions toward a calmer state. This makes regulation feel natural, not forced.

In music, a glissando is a smooth slide between notes…like running your hand up or down a piano and hearing every sound along the way. There’s no pressure to land perfectly on one note; the beauty is in the movement between them.
I chose the name Glissando for my business because it captures what I value most about music therapy: play, freedom, and creative expression. @‌glissando_musictherapy represents a space where expectations can be set aside.
Here, you’re invited to explore sound in an authentic, spontaneous way…to experiment, be curious, and engage with music in whatever form feels right for you.
For me, Glissando symbolises embracing music in its most natural, expressive, and liberating form.

Is there music from your younger years that bring you straight back to that season of life?
Music from our teens and early twenties is often remembered more strongly because this period of life is linked to intense emotional, social, and identity-forming experiences.
The brain is especially receptive to creating long-lasting memories during these years, a phenomenon known as the reminiscence bump.
For older adults, music from this life stage can act as a powerful cue for memory recall, helping access personal stories, emotions, and a sense of identity even when other forms of memory become harder to reach.

Big emotions need space to move, not be shut down…and music can offer a safe, structured way to release, regulate, and gently return to calm 😌
Here’s the steps you can take to move through big emotions safely…
➡️ Name the emotion - “I’m feeling ___” (angry/sad/anxious)
➡️Match it - find music that fits that feeling (loud/fast/heavy if needed), and start playing it
➡️ Release safely - sing, drum, stomp, or move…create movement that matches your energy, but make sure you’re in a safe environment to do so
➡️Shift gradually - move to slightly slower/softer songs every 1–2 tracks
➡️Land - finish with calm, familiar music and slow breathing or stillness
And remember, there’s no “right” way to do this. Let the music meet you where you are, and trust the process to carry you gently to where you need to be🎶

Here’s a little behind the scenes about how I approach song writing…

Sometimes I approach song writing with clear goals and intentions 💪🏼. Other times, a snippet of a melody pops into my head, like when I’m listening to a podcast about investing. It’s these moments where song writing becomes…
✅ a fun and creative outlet
✅ an expression of gratitude
✅ a musical reminder of why I set long-term financial goals for myself

I started listening to the podcast during the pandemic. As someone who is passionate about empowering people through education, I have so much respect for everything and the whole She’s on the Money team have created 💰

I am so incredibly grateful for all the free financial knowledge I’ve gained over the years and the positive impact it’s had on my life! They’ve created a safe space for millennial women (particularly with ADHD) to improve their financial literacy in an inclusive and safe space.

Does this resonate with you? Maybe you naturally use music to stay motivated while working towards different life goals? Let’s talk about it in the comments below 👇🏼
