POV: You’re a music therapist letting the the music app take the lead 🎶✨

Sometimes my best inspiration comes from hitting play on a preferred song and enjoying where the app takes me.

1. Open your favorite music app
2. Pick a song you like
3. Let it play and enjoy the musical journey

I started with Cher’s “Gypsy’s, Tramps, & Thieves” and it led to this car dance party with Talking Heads “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) 🥰

What I love about this exercise:
🎵 It brings back songs I haven’t heard in years

🎵 It introduces me to new music I wouldn’t have found otherwise

🎵 And it fills my cup and sparks so many ideas for sessions with my clients

Music discovery doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be joyful, random, and a little bit silly.

Music is more than memory, its connection, identity, and expression. 🎶

For people living with dementia, music therapy can bridge the gap when words feel out of reach.

In honor of , here are just a few of the ways music can support people living with dementia, supporting not just cognition, but connection, emotion, and quality of life.

1. Stimulates memory recall and long-term access to meaningful moments

2. Reduces anxiety, frustration, and distress

3. Encourages communication, even as verbal language changes

4. Strengthens emotional connection and relationships

5. Enhances overall quality of life and sense of self

Not every music therapy session is serious… and this one was full of laughter 🎶

I work with a client who loves novelty and parody songs. Those silly, unexpected, laugh-out-loud lyrics that catch you off guard.

We spent the session singing, reminiscing about funny songs, and even talking about April Fools’ jokes from years past.

And honestly? We laughed the entire time.

Humor isn’t just “extra,” it’s essential.

Especially right now, when so much in the world can feel heavy. Moments of levity create space for connection, memory, and joy.

Music gives us permission to be playful. To be silly. To feel good.

And sometimes… that’s exactly what we need. 💜

Last week I had the opportunity to present Music Strategies for Mental Health & Caregiving as part of the PLATO speaker series with . It was a morning filled with music-making, learning, and honest conversations about caregiving.

I love offering trainings that are interactive and practical, with ideas participants can start using right away, whether you’re working in senior living, providing direct care, or supporting a loved one at home.

This training is a great fit for:
🎵 Activity professionals
🎵 Direct care staff
🎵 Family caregivers
🎵 Senior living & community organizations

I’m currently booking workshops and trainings for organizations, conferences, and caregiver groups. 📆

If you’re looking for an engaging, easy to implement presentation on music, dementia, caregiving, or aging, let’s connect! 🎶

Send me a message and we can talk about what your group needs. 📩

I just got back from my second year attending conference in the region, and I can honestly say there is something special, even a little magical, about the Southeast music therapy community.

Last year I was welcomed with open arms and felt so much support and encouragement. This year, I had the chance to deepen those relationships and make new connections that I’m really excited to continue growing.

As always, conference goes by way too fast, and I definitely didn’t take enough pictures… but I’m so grateful for everyone I had the chance to spend time with, whether we met for the first time or picked up right where we left off as friends.

Already looking forward to the next one in NOLA! 🎶💜🎶
