Whether you are a music therapist or a music educator, more likely than not, you have come across or worked with a child that was labeled as “challenging” or that perhaps had “failed” out of other classes or therapies.

 

It is an amazing thing that in our role as music therapists, we can focus on their social and emotional wellbeing. We can provide them our full attention and listen to them in a different way.

 

I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences working with children and on this episode, Stephanie Leavell shares with you a story of a child whom she worked with and how music facilitated communication & served as an outlet for emotional expression.
