2012 Challange

I love music, and I equally love the satisfaction of writing a good song! Yes, the majority of my songs in the past three years have been for the special education students I work with, but a completed song, no matter its purpose,  brings me an immense feeling of accomplishment and pride.

This blog is coming out of a challenge for myself. I am a board certified music therapist, and I use music to elicit a change in individuals daily. I love it, but I don't love how busy and hectic my schedule is. I have little time to sit down and create new music to use with my clients and for myself. At times I feel stuck in the current music I use at work and listen to personally.

That is why I am presenting myself with the goal to blog one new original song a week in 2012. I want to share my music with others, as well as blog about the journey of becoming a more proficient songwriter.  It is not going to be easy, but I will grow each week and reap many rewards. Not only will my students and clients benefit from new, customized music, but also I will fulfill the need to create music for myself.

Join me on this journey of creativity and growth!
