Ever notice someone humming to themself? THIS may be the reason why!

Humming relaxes the brain and body.

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve that supports the function of a number of major organs as well as the parasympathetic nervous system ("the calm state of the brain").

Humming and singing can activate this nerve, "turning on" the parasympathetic nervous system.

🎶 It’s been a packed (and inspiring!) two weeks at Anderson Music Therapy!

Last week, we wrapped up an incredible summer camp with 10 awesome kids and 6 amazing staff members. From dancing and songwriting to art-making and teamwork, the room was full of energy, creativity, and lots of smiles. 💃🎨🎵

This past weekend, we hosted the training at (Thank you 5 Points!), led by the talented Summer Lall of . Nineteen professionals—including a whole lot of music therapists—spent nearly 14 hours immersed in rhythm, connection, and powerful group experiences. 🥁✨

🌍✨ Happy International Self-Care Day! ✨🌍

Today, we celebrate the importance of nurturing ourselves, especially as caregivers. Daily self-care is not just a luxury—it's a necessity for our overall well-being. When we prioritize our own health, we gain the strength and energy to better support those we care for. Simple habits like taking a moment to breathe, enjoying a favorite hobby, or even just savoring a quiet cup of tea can make a world of difference.

‘She couldn’t walk, she couldn’t talk’: music therapy helped Joni Mitchell recover from a stroke – could it ward off depression and dementia too?

"(The nurses) had noticed that Mitchell perked up when she heard music coming from their phones, and wondered if he had any suggestions for songs she might respond to. Remarkably, he’d helped her compile a CD of her favourite tracks for a series of albums called Artist’s Choice back in the early 2000s (it was a short-lived project from Starbucks, which had bought a record label in order to pipe music into its coffee shops). Their picks ranged from Debussy to Marvin Gaye and Leonard Cohen."

Our Story

When I moved to Roanoke I quickly noticed the challenge families had in getting services for their family members that truly met their need for social, emotional, and physical well-being. I created Anderson Music Therapy to fill that need and be a resource in helping families find support within this community.

Helping people, babies through older adults, have the highest quality of life (social, emotional, and physical well-being) is my passion. Part of serving those individuals is also supporting their family. That’s why we’re here!

Since opening in 2011, my passion has continued to be fueled by seeing our clients and their families more excited and hopeful about the future!

In service,
