Shhhhh… Today is World Listening Day, a day dedicated to encouraging people to actively listen to the world around them. When you take a moment to listen you can better understand and appreciate your environment. There is music all around us if you just take a moment to listen.

In music therapy, we often use instruments like the drums, piano, shakers, guitar, and other percussion instruments. This allows a hand-held connection to the music that can promotes engagement. Another great way to offer music exploration is through the use of music technology such as GarageBand. You may have noticed our music therapists recently using a synthesizer keyboard in sessions that allows clients to explore different sounds and create their own beats. The benefit of this intervention is to promote self-expression and creativity through songwriting and beat making. It provides the client with autonomy over their own musical choices, and gives them a change to explore outside of acoustic instruments. Clients get the chance to discover various genres through this medium including EDM, Funk, Hip-Hop, and even genres like Country and Rock. Layering different beats can allow a great opportunity for group cooperation and socialization as it requires everyone to actively listen and take turns. At the conclusion of the activity, clients are able to walk away from the session with a piece of music that is completely theirs, and that is something to be proud of.

Alora has made excellent progress since she began attending music therapy in January of 2024. She arrives to each session with a positive attitude and excitement to engage musically. Her self-expression has grown significantly, and she is often observed dancing while participating in instrument play. Some of her favorite activities include playing the piano, xylophone and singing. Alora is able to interact more confidently with peers in her music therapy session and is always willing to lend a helping hand. She brings such a wonderful energy to her group, and we love having her in music therapy. We are so proud of her progress!
