Harmony in Recollection: The Profound Connection Between Music and Memories
A Soundtrack for Life Our lives are punctuated by a diverse array of melodies, each song serving as a sonic bookmark for significant chapters. The first dance at a wedding, the rhythm of a road trip, or the lullaby that cradled us to sleep – these musical imprints become a personalized soundtrack for our journey through time. But how does it work? In this episode we explore how music functions in our brain, specifically the ability of music to evoke emotions and how this has strong implications for our memory.

#40 Interview with Stephanie Leavell , Creator of Music for Kiddos
<p>I was so inspired by my recent conversation with Stephanie Leavell and I am sure you will be too! Listen to learn about Stephanie’s journey to music therapy, her process of intentional songwriting and how there are TWO music therapists in her family. Minute 35-literally blew my mind and I now dream of joining Stephanie’s band. Stephanie believes that music is a great communicator and she uses all elements of music to communicate. Her music has something for all children to engage with as she expresses the intention of the song using rhythm, lyrics, melody and instrumentation.</p> <p>Stephanie is the creator of <a href="https://www.musicforkiddos.com/">Music for Kiddos</a>, a website that provides high-quality music and music resources for music therapists, music educators, and parents. She's mom to a spunky young daughter, a seasoned performer, an experienced music educator, and a board certified music therapist. Stephanie is a Berklee College of Music graduate and is passionate about using music to help kids succeed. She specializes in working with babies and kids through age 6.</p> <p>Stephanie jokes that she has a low tolerance for cheesy music. She writes music to help kids be successful in their daily life: night-time routines, transitions, movement, instrument exploration, academic concepts, and helping kids understand and express their feelings. Music cannot be "prescribed", because the effectiveness of music is highly individualized, but this is a starting point... some tried and true music and resources that you might find helpful, too.</p> <p>Learn more on her website and find links to all of her socials:</p> <p><a href="https://www.musicforkiddos.com/">https://www.musicforkiddos.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Link to episode transcript.<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aA6ssJJiujvh6owM3qlq4dP3wp0K9XaQcK5bKtFJ8eU/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aA6ssJJiujvh6owM3qlq4dP3wp0K9XaQcK5bKtFJ8eU/edit?usp=sharing</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/caitlin-krater/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/caitlin-krater/support</a>

#39 The Impact of Health Policy on Music Therapy
<p>This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Amanda Henley. Amanda is a board certified music therapist, researcher and educator in the state of Indiana. She also serves as the Indiana Task Force for Music Therapy Advocacy Chair. Amanda and I sat down to talk about the music therapy and art therapy licensure protection bill that is up this legislative session. This is the closest they have been to passing this bill in years and the task force could us all of our help to reach out to local representatives to tell them about the importance of title protection for both therapists and those they serve. The information below will guide you through the process</p> <p><br></p> <p>A bit more about Amanda</p> <p> Amanda Henley is a native Hoosier, married to her music loving husband Jason, mom of twins, and in her 21st year as a board certified music therapist. She earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from The Florida State University. Amanda worked in educational and community settings to support children and adults with disabilities. She also worked as a Research Associate at Indiana University coordinating and overseeing music therapy research in pediatric cancer.
