On Power and Privilege
We're back back back back back again! Anyone else feeling drained of energy and creativity these past 6 months or so? Us too but we've finally got another episode for your ears! We're joined by Rebecca West in this episode to discuss power and privilege in music therapy and to start looking a little closer at ourselves and our own intersections. This is an important topic and it's vital that we unpack our individual and collective privilege and examine the ways music therapy contributes to oppressive practices. We're glad you're taking the time to listen and don't forget to manifest what you learned into action!

Run for Your Live(lihood)s!

But that hasn't stopped us from producing quality episodes for you to listen to! This episode we're joined by Jenny Branson to discuss why people leave the field of music therapy and other hard questions about our profession.

Why Is Clinical Improvisation So Cool?
Episode 2 fresh from the electric kettle that sits on my kitchen counter waiting for the one time a week I make tea to then only drink half of it! This episode we're joined by Dr. Jim Hiller from the University of Dayton to discuss clinical improvisation and why it's pretty much the coolest way for music therapists to work. So whether you love improvisation and use it daily like me or you're terrified of it and aren't quite sure how it works like most of my students, you'll find some good stuff in here for that squishy thing between your ears to learn. So gather round the twinkle lights as the snow starts to fall for another episode of the MTea.
