Whether you are a music therapist or a music educator, more likely than not, you have come across or worked with a child that was labeled as “challenging” or that perhaps had “failed” out of other classes or therapies.
Staff or other teachers have tried different approaches that have not seemed to work. Often, music therapy is referred as a solution and an approach that could support the child’s needs.
I have a lot of empathy for these kids and I'm grateful that in our role as a music therapist, we can focus on their social and emotional wellbeing. We can provide them our full attention and listen to them in a different way.
I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences working with children and on episode 13 of the Music For Kiddos Podcast I have a story to share with you about a child whom I worked with and how music facilitated communication & served as an outlet for emotional expression .
In this episode:
I talk about assuming competency when working with children
I share some anecdotes and suggestions on how music can be utilized to facilitate emotional expression
