In this session, Melanie found a creative way to encourage her client's participation by attaching a string to the capo of her guitar that held a chime. This small adjustment allowed the client to easily reach and play the chime while the therapist strummed, creating a shared musical experience that was both accessible and engaging.

Music therapists are constantly thinking outside the box, adapting instruments, exploring new approaches, and finding creative ways to meet each client's unique needs and abilities.

Because music therapy isn't just about making music. It's about finding meaningful ways for everyone to be part of it! 💞🎵

Today we celebrate Rett syndrome awareness month. Working alongside individuals with Rett syndrome has reminded us again and again that communication goes far beyond words. Every smile, movement, glance, musical response, and moment of connection has meaning.💜

Check out Noelle and how she communicates during her music therapy sessions with Kristyn. Through using her Tobii (a tablet with eye tracking technology) and eye gaze, she is able to communicate, fill in the blanks to songs, choose instruments and share her feelings. And check out those purposeful reaches, too!

This month and every month we are reminded that every voice matters. Every connection matters. Every person matters. 💜

Musical memories can remain accessible even in the late stages of dementia according to the American Music Therapy Association, Inc. Musical memory is stored throughout the brain and may remain accessible even in late-stage memory disorders, even when some brain tissue is no longer functioning normally. Research shows that music therapy can support enhanced cognition and memory recall, as well as increased alertness and orientation and improved mood. Music is magical! 💫
