Thank you, Sue! It's always a pleasure. Seniors are staying active and cognitively fit in San Antonio as a result of all of the great arts programming available.
this is a really fantastic lesson. i love your use of the early developmental instruction methodologies- keeping the content and movements almost the same as you would for children- but keeping it relevant to them so it doesn't feel so adolescent. this lesson really helped shake my regret about the undergrad degree i earned in music education, and a lot more confident about the grad program in music therapy i'm pursuing
Thank you, Richard! Good luck in your music therapy grad program. If you are looking for any additional information, mmLearn.org offers real-life, quality caregiver training to anyone seeking practical ways to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of older adults in their care. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a family caregiver, or seeking guidance as a pastoral or spiritual caregiver - we know that you'll find mmLearn.org an essential learning tool in caring for older adults.
I'm just now seeing the comments. Thanks, Richard! I hadn't based the session on early childhood education philosophies, but this reminds me of something Judith Jellison once told me. I was interested in pursuing a PhD in music education/therapy, but told her I preferred to work with adults. (I felt like the degree program was more oriented toward children.) She told me, "You know, children become adults . . ." and good teaching principles are good principles. I hope your degree program is going well! I finished my masters equivalency program at Colorado State in 2000, and then did a master of music and human learning with Dr. Jellison at the University of Texas at Austin in 2006 - both amazing experiences.

Hello! I’m a high school student that is really considering going into music therapy (possibly at TWU), but I would be lying if I said I’m not scared to major in music, as much as music is my life (specifically classical music - I play piano and oboe). I’m guess I’m worried I won’t be good enough… But anyway, I know I’m super late commenting on this, but does anyone have any tips or anything to give me? About pursuing music therapy/majoring in music? Thanks! :)
I really thought I had responded to this a while back - my apologies. Are there any board-certified music therapists in your area? One might agree to have you come to observe. Check out Creative Vibes MT for a great TH-cam channel with a lot of music therapy videos including some "Day in the Life" posts that might help. www.youtube.com/@CreativeVibesMT
This is the best job in the world
About to do my first session with older adults, this has been such a valuable resource!
How did it it go, Bryan?
What a blessing and wonderful service!
This is fantastic, so much group harmony brought by melodious music.
Amy, you're a wonderful group facilitator. The session was a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
