Music Therapy is an evidence based practice using music experiences to accomplish therapeutic goals facilitated by a board-certified music therapist. These music experiences and thoughtfully planned interventions include the following: Listening - relaxation, exploring & processing emotions, meditation, movement, perceptual exercises, free-association, story-telling, imaging, reminiscing, and more. Re-creating - engaging in singing, playing, or dancing to composed live or recorded music. Improvising - Creating music spontaneously to develop spontaneity, creativity, freedom of expression, trust, self-awareness, and communication skills. Composing - Song and lyric writing to provide a safe container for expressing deep feelings, situations that are difficult to put into words, composing pieces of music to reflect inner complex thoughts. All of the above experiences are facilitated by the music therapist. Music therapists complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree in music therapy at an accredited university, fulfill 1200 clinical hours through practicum and internship, and pass a national board-certification exam. Some states require music therapy licensure additionally. Music therapy at Making Waves Music Therapy is provided by Kayla Connick, MT-BC/LPMT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612b035a1ed3924931fbd6e7/1651701462616-9G61CRM1PLLLLVB79WXZ/processed_IMG_20220301_125308_912.jpg About - Kayla Connick, MT-BC Owner & Primary Therapist Kayla is a board-certified music therapist with experience working with neurodiverse individuals with different abilities, at-risk youth, residents within memory care units with varying degrees of dementia, and within special school districts.
