Here’s a sneak peek of one of the resources I’m sharing from January’s songwriting group! We will reflect on the last year and discuss positive changes we would like to make before using this template as a guide to re-write the song “Dancing Through Life 🪩” from Wicked.

Are you a Music Educator or Music Therapist looking for New Year’s-themed ideas? If you’re interested in receiving this free resource, please comment “Template”in the comments and I will send you a copy along with a step-by-step facilitation guide on January 8th!

Happy Holidays! Please note 🎶 the holiday schedule. If you haven’t already, please check your inbox if you have a lesson or session that falls on one of these dates. I will be available by phone/email if you have any questions.

The last year was filled with so many new experiences as a clinician, teacher, business owner and human being. In 2025 I transitioned my students and individual clients to my first studio space in Normandy Village. I commuted around Bloomington-Normal and the greater Peoria area to nursing facilities, schools, day programs, recreation centers, libraries, play centers, preschools and client’s homes. My caseload grew and I grew with every new, unique experience.

I am so thankful for all of my wonderful clients, students, collaborators and helpers in this community. Without you, there would be no Harmonium Music Therapy. I am looking forward to new opportunities next year—including supervising my first practicum student starting in January!!!

Thank you all for being a part of this amazing journey with me! I’ll see you all next year 😀

This holiday season, when you give the gift of music therapy, you’re offering so much more than just an enjoyable experience...

You’re providing a renewed sense of dignity and belonging for your loved one in their home or retirement community.

You’re providing a safe, judgment-free space for your teen to express themselves creatively, helping them navigate their feelings and thoughts through music.

You’re equipping your child with essential tools to thrive, supporting their emotional, social, communication, and educational goals.

A Music Therapist can help you custom design a personalized treatment plan that celebrates your unique strengths and ensure a meaningful (and musical 🎶) experience.

Let’s connect today to discover the endless possibilities of music therapy!
