Wonderful stories ... I love singing and sharing stories at senior centers. It is always a wonderful time. I love their coming alive and sharing their stories with me. The music opens the doors so so much more.

Music can make you happy or make you cry.
It can make you dance or help you to rest.
But most of all, music can heal.
It's the kind of medicine that we all need, for treating sadness and creating happiness.
Get music now!
It can be a way to improve your health...

I recently completed my internship in Music Therapy and I would like to share a story with all of you. I was interning in a facility in White Plains, NY. Every Saturday I would drive up and work with children of different age levels and disabilities from Autism, ADD and Cerebral Palsy. These were group sessions making individual time very difficult to give but I had a connection to one child in particular that no one paid much attention to. It appeared that she had been going their for many years and becoming harder to reach. I sat with her, sang to her, held instruments for her and encouraged her during my time with her. When my time was coming to an end, the group leaders were amazed by her and so was I; by the time I left she was joiniung in the activities and was singing. Not perfectly but for her it was a tremendous accomplishment. The experience has made a world of difference to me and reafirmed my commitment as a music therapist. It may appear to others that no one is home but they are just sitting in the dark waiting for someone to surprise!

I've sung in senior citizen care facilities, and it's so amazing to see how even if they can't dance, their faces become younger! Those who are able to dance just display so much youth and happiness!!! Music is INDEED food for the soul from the youngest to the oldest.

Wonderful! I'm already doing that from singing in shelters, parks, to single mothers, to the homeless. And I'm loving it!
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
