As a music therapist, your job asks a lot of your guitar and vocal skills. From singing and playing for hours, to leading groups in challenging acoustic environments, to changing your music to match the moment, you do it all . . . all day . . . with style! Get back into your fall music therapy sessions with confidence after this 3-hour guitar and voice workshop with HOH music therapists KC Bradham (guitar), Carly Jacobs (voice), and Kayla Neuberger (voice). We will practice rhythmic control on the guitar, vocal techniques for sustainable singing, not losing those vocal techniques as soon as you pick up the guitar (no judgement, it happens), and putting it all together so that you are freed up to focus on your clients and their needs. Bring your guitar, singing voice, and willingness to try something new.

Music therapy in end-of-life care is a beautiful opportunity to make sure that those facing decline associated with dementia get high-quality, evidence-based treatment. Music therapists practicing in this setting must assess their patients and plan interventions, all while noticing and helping the team track decline associated with aging. In this 1-credit CMTE, Julia Legler, MT-BC explores intentional assessment and treatment planning for the music therapy recipient with dementia in hospice care. Julia will provide functional, accessible strategies for assessing and making confident treatment decisions, distilling knowledge into practical tools.
