This blog will serve as my senior project in fulfillment of my undergraduate degree at The Florida State University. As I searched through and read other music therapy blogs, I noticed something. There are plenty of blogs for or about professional therapists, plenty with lots of activity ideas, and plenty about the field in general. What I had trouble finding was a blog for, about, and by a music therapy intern. Something that covered everything that I was worried about as my internship drew near. All the big issues, all the way down to the seemingly mundane issues. That being said, I have five goals in mind for the blog:
1) To serve as a resource for other music therapy interns providing information on all topics concerning this population. I plan on covering everything from activity ideas to finding housing to cheap and easy dinner recipes.
2) To serve as a personal collection of my experiences during my internship. Daily experiences, thoughts, and lessons learned.
3) To serve as a resource for professional therapists. I am most definitely a "newbie" in the field, but hey, sometimes the perspective of a newcomer can be enlightening. At least that's my hope.
4) To provide information and insight about music therapy for those unfamiliar with the field.
5) To hopefully be entertaining. Something fun to read.
