Ahoy fellow music therapist,
The instructors and I went into the launch of MT-Ed.com with this idea: A thriving music therapy profession depends upon the health and wellness of its individual practitioners.
That’s why, in honor of the New Year, we gave away 2+0+1+3 = SIX free Music Medicine books last week. Congratulations to Angie, Elizabeth, Keeley, Beverlee, John, and… Kali, VIP Subscriber since October. Give high fives where appropriate =) Happy New Year!
This week, we bring you more bang for your buck with 4 Keys To Music & Wellness.

P.S. Since participants have signed up since last week, we’ve already received feedback:
“[The course is] great so far….the music had me up and dancing in my living room. Yeah :)” ~Beverlee Nelson, MT-BC in La Grange, Illinois
“Would I recommend it to others? Of course, because it was amazing! It covered so much, and she backed it up with great research information. I plan on transferring this work to students with special needs and their typical peers….teachers…their parents….and maybe even their dr./professionals.
Christine is so warm, honest, brilliant, and full of life. It was great to be in her presence, even from the distance of a screen. The videos were so good that I felt like I was outside instead of in my office. So….that being said, I hope there are more courses to come, this idea of on-line learning is so helpful and a true value to those of us who learn from home.”
~Cari Miller, MT-BC in Webster, NY
