Dose of Inspiration

A classroom of students asked to write a song about their hometown, Deerfield. Their music therapist supported them in this effort by helping them write lyrics and choose the musical elements of the song, giving the students opportunities to practice executive functioning and social skills. The final result was an original song that the students wanted to sing repeatedly in future music therapy sessions.

Why does music therapy work?

Music is a whole-brain activity that generates physiologic responses. Its predictable and structured nature can improve attention, enhance learning, and expand communication. Music listening and creation are motivating social experiences that can access memories and express or alter emotions.

Prospect Music Therapy has been providing services for our functional life skills program for over five years. The kids look forward to their weekly sessions and love all of the songs, instruments, and activities. Loren and Camille incorporate movement, speech/ language and emotional regulation skills. They personalize each session to include students’ names and preferred song choices, as well as tying in curricular themes. Even during remote learning, Loren creatively solved problems to continue servicing students by providing Zoom calls, pre-recorded lessons and take-home music kits. We love Prospect Music Therapy!!

The Teachers

Pritchett School, D102

Residents at Ascension Living Nazarethville Place have enjoyed their twice-weekly Music Therapy sessions provided by Loren Goodman. They enjoy singing, playing rhythm instruments, and learning a bit of the history behind some of their favorite songs. Our memory-care residents, although significantly impaired, recognize Loren when she arrives with the brightly colored ribbons, scarves, and instruments that make their music time so much fun! I truly believe that this program is the best thing that has ever happened to our facility!

Dose of Research

Listening to and playing music increases the body’s production of the antibody immunoglobulin A, the cells that attack invading viruses and boost the immune system’s effectiveness. Music also reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol. (Chanda & Levitin, 2013)
