Happy 2nd Anniversary, Music Therapy Maven!

On February 13th, 2009 I hit “Publish” for the very first time, not realizing the incredible, life-changing journey that was about to happen. Starting this blog has jump-started new friendships, opened up job opportunities, and introduced me to people all over the world. It’s been an amazing ride!

This blog would not survive and thrive without the readership, support, and comments from YOU! As a special “thank you” to all Music Therapy Maven readers, I’m hosting an “Anniversary Giveaway.” Keep reading for more details…

New Logo

So, how do you like my new logo? I have been meaning to have a logo created since I started this blog two years ago…I guess life got in the way! I hope you like it and the clean new “look” it brings to this blog. I’d be interested in your comments and feedback, so please leave a note below!

Blast from the Maven Past

I’ve spent some time this week digging through the Music Therapy Maven archives and have unearthed some “oldies but goodies.” Here they are, for your reading pleasure:

• Let’s Start at the Neuro-Beginning
• Reflecting Our Flaws
• How to Educate a Diverse Crowd: A Music Therapist’s Dilemma
• Sympathy v. Empathy: Which Should a Therapist Have?
• “Momma” v. Therapist
• On the Virtues of the Autoharp
• And the Music Calmed Them
• Why Therapists Need to Shut Up
• On Attention, Plasticity, Learning and Individuality
• Which is More Critical: Science-Based Treatment? Or Skilled Therapists?

It’s Not My Only Anniversary

Believe it or not, this blog isn’t the only anniversary I’m celebrating this month. The Music Therapy Round Table podcast just celebrated it’s 1st birthday!!!

And as part of our celebration, we’ve launched a newly re-designed website and logo. I invite you to check it out and let us know what you think!

Many thanks to the multi-talented blogger extraordinaire Rachel Rambach for her beautiful logo and design!
