Hitting the High Notes of Healing with Roxanne Christian
Although the first degree program in music therapy in America was developed by Michigan State University in 1944, music was already being used for healing purposes in the late 1700s, more than 200 years ago. It has been proven that music therapy reduces anxiety and the physical effects of stress. It improves healing, helps manage Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, reduce depression and the symptoms of psychological disorders, and improves self-expression and communication.
Joining us today is Roxanne Christian, to tell us more about this fascinating healing technique and its multiple benefits. She is a talented music therapist who graduated from Berklee College of Music with a BA in Music Therapy and the Founder and Owner of Live Love Life Music.
In this episode, Roxanne shares her passion for music therapy, the use of it to promote wellness, manage stress, express feelings, and promote physical rehabilitation. We delve into Roxanne's journey of becoming a music therapist, her work at nursing homes, and with troubled teenagers. Roxanne also talks about how she heals through service by helping others with her therapy, the health challenges she overcame through the integration of various techniques, and the process of overcoming vulnerability.
Some Questions I Ask:
- Can you talk about your story? What's your why, and how did you get there? (3:09)
- So you used music really to tell your story in a way or to hide behind your story? Is that right? (6:37)
- If you were to give somebody a tip, what would be a word that you would recommend to someone who feels a little melancholy? Who doesn't have to pick me up in the morning? How can they snap out of that using your process? (18:09)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- About how Roxanne overcame vulnerability using music (6:08)
- Roxanne shares bits of the process she uses at nursing homes (11:26)
- How to be wholly present and stabilize using single breath tones (22:21)
- Roxanne's work with troubled teens and how they can feel validated and heard through music (24:27)
- Roxanne talks about how she dealt with her health challenges and the self-healing process she went through (38:45)
