Way to go, and I think you're absolutely right. I agree that, while Governor Christie did not get my vote, I am responsible, as a citizen of this state, to make my voice heard in some way. Usually it's by sending letters/emails. I'm so glad to hear you got to speak with him in person, and it's very heartening to me to hear that he seemed to really listen to you. That is not the impression I have gotten from watching him on television, and I'm glad that, at least in this situation, my perception was incorrect. Thanks for representing! Yes, you did, Angela!

And my personal definition is a lot like yours. For me, I work really hard to make the distinction between music experiences that are supportive and music therapy in which an assessment is completed, goals and objectives are determined, interventions designed, and progress reviewed. The specifics of a music therapy session are, necessarily, different from client to client, but there are a few basic elements that are consistent, regardless of the setting: client, music therapist, and music. I'd love to hear how others make the distinction between music experiences that are therapeutic and music therapy. It’s been an interesting journey for me, too.

I usually get the question, "So how can music be used in a nursing home?" I respond by mentioning the clinical goals and how the goals are based on the needs of the individual and then mention different musical interventions.

I tend to frame my explanations in terms of music and how it affects the brain - and therefore all levels of functioning. I think that also the cultural significance of music (which many people can relate to) is something that we also should remember to mention, because it's pretty important in music therapy.

A conversation with a new aquaintance might touch on using music therapy to achieve therapeutic goals such as speech production, increasing attention span, and increasing fine motor skills. If I am talking with a potential consumer of music therapy, I might talk more directly about how music therapy can help him/her. I always include something about our credential, MT-BC (Music Therapist-Board Certified) and the education and training that is required to become a music therapist (as well as continuing education).
