Jeopardy has been such a big hit for my clients, from teens to seniors! I usually skip the answer with a question rule and keep it more trivia style, but no matter how hard I think my questions are, they always get them. . . . #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #yyclife #yycmusic #yyckids #yycparents #yycfamily #music #musictherapystudent #musictherapy #musictherapist #musictherapylife #musictherapyonline #musictherapyrocks

We typically think of music as entertaining or fun. While this is true there are many other reasons why music can be therapeutic. No matter how young a person i...s, what language they speak, or if they can speak at all, music can help children communicate without words. Music can adapt to whatever the child is experiencing and is especially good at helping kids express their feelings. #musictherapy #keytoyourhealth See more

Pioneer of Music Therapy in Canada, Advocate for Children and Youth, Charismatic Leader of the Canadian Music Therapy Fund, Meritorious Award Recipient from the... Government of Canada and Past-President of CAMT - just a few ways we will remember Frances Herman, MTA. Her legacy runs deep within our organization. She always challenged us to stretch our ideas so they would bloom into something that would make a tremendous impact in the lives of others. #RIPFran (1927-2020) Photo: Fran receiving the Meritorious Award from the Governor General of Canada for her advocacy and lifetime achievement in advancing music therapy in Canada.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, music therapists across Canada have had to shift to providing sessions in a virtual space. While it’s not perfect, Mackenzi...e Costron, the owner and founder of @findyourvoicemusictherapy, shows us the benefits of online music therapy: 1. Provides a safe space for immunocompromised individuals immunocompromised individuals can receive music therapy and counselling from the safety and comfort of their own home or space. 2. Increases comfort levels for some, being in the comfort of their own space and being by themselves has allowed for more creativity and self-expression. 3. Opportunity for strong attention & focus most younger individuals find it easier to focus on their sessions online due to their relationship and familiarity with technology. 4. Accessibility & Flexibility providing music therapy sessions online eliminates travel time making it easier for both the client and therapist to fit in their schedules. 5. Connecting with rural and distant communities through the power of the internet, music therapists have been able to connect virtually to distant and rural communities who might not have access to local music therapy sessions.
