Music Therapy Social Media Advocacy Month: January Jams

1/13/2018

0 Comments

 

​The 
Certification Board for Music Therapists and American Music Therapy Association create an annual opportunity for music therapists to unite on social media for advocacy. This is PMT's 3rd year participating in #MusicTherapy Social Media Month thanks to @thecbmt @amtainc 🎉🎶❄️
​

Music therapy professionals, interns and students were asked to follow these steps that had a musical twist:  ​

If you follow us on Instagram then you may have seen our posts for #mtadvocacy. ​Our practice needed some time to select 1 song per clinician since there are so many songs that come to mind!! Here's what our team members chose:

Count On Me

Ashley Tisdale, MT-BC selected "Count On Me" co-written by Bruno Mars,  Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine under their alias of The Smeezingtons.  🎧 ❤️ Here's the original music video! 
Ashley’s Reasoning:
The song is about support and the many lengths people are willing to go to so they can take care of another person. As music therapists, the support we give our clients is unique and tantamount to each individual’s growth.

Road Less Traveled

Melissa Reinhardt, MSEd, MT-BC chose “Road Less Traveled” co-written by Jesse Frasure, Meghan Trainor & Lauren Alaina for her song. 🎵 Listen & watch here. 
​
Melissa’s Rationale: This song reminds me to believe in myself! #mtadvocacy #mtbc #musictherapist #journey #professional #January #2018 #recognition

TRY EVERYTHING

Gretchen Benner, LMSW, MT-BC chose “Try Everything” from Zootopia co-written by Hermansen, Eriksen & Furler! 🎶 Enjoy the music video here!
Gretchen’s Explanation: The lyrics resonate with the trek of advocating, challenge of educating, commitment of creating and resolution of supporting. #Shakira #SocialMedia #Advocacy #Zootopia #Pixar #movie #soundtrack #January #2018 #winter #mtadvocacy This was the 4th song that I finally settled upon. The initial songs that resonated were Diamond Rio's "Meet In The Middle," The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles." Although these songs are about romantic relationships they could apply to the adventures of advocating!

MUSIC Related Resolutions: New Learning, Listening & PLAyING

This blog post was inspired by the York County Library News, Information & Events Publication dated Spring 2018. In the final article six reading resolutions were offered to inspire patrons in 2018. Read below to learn about the music related resolutions that we pondered after considering theirs:

Picture

  1. Discover local musicians by attending a live music performance
  2. Listen to a new artist or different arrangement of a favorite piece of music each #musicMonday
  3. Create a music playlist for an activity, i.e. cooking, cleaning, commuting or exercising.
  4. Watch a music video for the first time.
  5. Learn a new song or instrument by taking individual lessons or joining a small group to learn together.
  6. Research the Golden Globe Winners for movie scores or musicals.
  7. Support creative and expressive arts in your community.
  8. Donate an unused instrument to a local non-profit organization or business for it to be regularly played
  9. Find the lyrics to one of the songs you enjoy listening to and verify you've been singing the correct lyrics all along!

Let us know if you choose one of these resolutions or have a music related resolution to recommend! Cheers to the New Year 2018 and thanks for following our blog at PMT.
