Personal Development is Professional Development

pre-approved for 8 CMTE credits

Personal development is anything you do to grow as a person. This overlaps heavily with self care, and it may be argued that personal development is true self care. To develop a skill set, knowledge base, or idea takes time and effort. The same is true for our development as people. Personal development might not always feel great in the moment, but the effort spent serves us tenfold in the long term. It is a lifelong process to achieve our highest potential.

Music is your superpower

pre-approved for 6 CMTE credits

Music is infinite. There are many professions that include the use of music, but few that use music clinically. As clinical musicians, it is our responsibility to continuously deepen our understanding and competence of the clinical use of music. There is always more to learn about how we can use music. From instrumentation to form, pitch to rhythm, texture to dynamics. . . improving our clinical use of music leads us toward mastering our craft as music therapists and therefore better serving our clients through this limitless medium.

Self Care Community

Join the self care movement 💕

Self care is about YOU,
but that doesn’t mean you have to always do it alone.
We all need support in our lives, and if you’ve been looking for a like-minded community rooted in self care and mutual support, you’ve come to the right place!
