New Perspectives

This past week I had the pleasure of working with Several Dutch music therapists in Their daily routines. Many aspects of the therapy were similar and at the same time they were different. The most notable difference was how the sessions were formed. The therapist would go into the session without a structured plan, but they would read the clients and format the session for how they were feeling in that moment. This interested me because I am used to having a set plan for a session the day before it even occurs.

This week I also learned that I am able to be on my own in an unknown situation. I followed the music therapist on my own and gained a lot of knowledge through observation or asking questions. It let me see that I am more self-relient than I had thought.

These two learning experience go hand in hand Because They Both involve working in the moment. They Both require flexibility and improvisation Which I have become more and more confident with.
