How's
it going for everyone?
After
starting a few weeks of music therapy work, I've felt much more on
track now.
It's
so exciting that I've received my graduation letter and I'll be
attending my graduation ceremony in april with my other fabulous
classmates, isn't that great? It'll be a milestone of being able to
achieve my dreams. :)
Big and small things happen in Music therapy sessions , from having evacuation where there's false alarms, clients having low mood/ low motivation and unwilling to participate to anything you can think of - it's different every day / session!
During music therapy sessions, the best things I heard were:
"I felt much better after this, thank you so much!! ",
"Looking forward to the session next week!",
"This is GREAT! (With thumbs up)",
"I love this music!! (Eyes glancing at you)"...
"I felt much better after this, thank you so much!! ",
"Looking forward to the session next week!",

"I love this music!! (Eyes glancing at you)"...
these are all very encouraging when I hear them! Thanks :)
On the other hand,
I'm
excited to tell you that the AMTA National Music Therapy conference
is going to be held in sydney this year in september, my classmates
from overseas will be back to attend it too! The theme this year will
be “Creative Musiking” and “Celebrating 40 years of music
therapy”. Music therapy has come a long way already! We'll be
having Gary Andsell, the renown music therapist.
Dr
Gary Ansdell, the conference’s keynote speaker, “People’s
‘music-health-illness narratives’ chart the complexity
of their relationship with music … This basic attachment
to music is often a key resource for people to locate what
is still healthy in themselves and others”.
Thanks for everyone for visiting and I've finally received some feedback about my blog :)
Hoping to write more now and then!
