Music Therapy in Boise
It is really true that music makes connections when nothing else can. I was working with a young girl with Asperger's for the first time. She was hesitant to engage, but once the music started she became much more animated she began telling me of connections that she had to different music. The more we did music together the more she began to smile and began to interact with me. At the end her mother came and told me that she does not talk to anyone, and she was amazed with how much she talked with me. It is moments like that which makes me glad that I am a music therapist.
