Episode 24 of “Songs for Music Therapy” is titled “Songs for Special Events in February”. The episode includes two original songs, “Mister Groundhog” & “Super Bowl Sunday”. Check out the podcast directly on my website or subscribe to iTunes. I always love feedback about songs you like or even additional ideas you have. I would love to start a new section on the podcast dedicated to your BlogBacks.
I am enjoying “Gypsy Caprice” featuring Caroline Goulding. It is a great song for expressive movement with adults and encourages movement through various levels: high, middle, and low. Some creative dance words for this might include: step, turn, sprint, strut, drift, float, expand, twist, and deflate.
I recommend listening to a recording of Rachmaninov’s “The Isle of the Dead” Op. 29. It really makes me think of a scene from the book “The Amber Spyglass” by Philip Pullman.
On January 28th my students in the music therapy department presented “The Men in Music” recital. The recital featured songs by male singers, composers, and performers. The students were involved in each selecting a popular male musician.
I wrote a song called “The Men in Music” to be performed as a group number. We put together a small band consisting of other therapists, my interns, and one student. One of my private voice students, who now is at the Eastman School of Music for vocal performance, came to sing the vocal solo. The other students were divided into two groups and sang two different parts in the chorus sections and offered back-up vocals during the solo. It was such a great moment with everyone working together!

I spent a little time today writing and recording a new song for the upcoming Super Bowl. Be looking for it on the next podcast!
