As we continue wrapping up July, we're looking back on another highlight from this month, a wonderful piano recital featuring the students of Ms. Elizabeth's piano studio!

These students put on a fantastic performance, showcasing all of the hard work they've put into their lessons throughout the year. It was wonderful to see each student share their music with family, friends, and our community. We couldn't be more proud of everything they accomplished!

A special congratulations goes to our graduating seniors, Amelia Phillips and Luca Mercuro! Thank you for your years of dedication and for sharing your talents with us. It has been a joy to watch you grow as musicians, and we wish you all the best in this next chapter!

Thank you to all of our students, families, and everyone who helped make this summer’s recital such a memorable evening. We can't wait to see what the next performance brings! Stay tuned for details on upcoming recitals and events!

As we wrap up July, we wanted to share some of the fun we've been up to this month at GSMT!

To kick things off, we had not one, but two fantastic team gatherings this month! We started with an evening of Krazy Darts, axe throwing, and arcade games, a fun way to reconnect, laugh, and enjoy some time together! We also met up for coffee and a collaborative work session, giving us the chance to brainstorm, tackle projects, and catch up as a team.

For those who may not know, Granite State Music Therapy doesn't have a central office. Our incredible clinicians and educators travel to our clients, providing services wherever they're needed across our communities. While we love being able to meet people where they are, it also means we don't get to see each other as often as a traditional office team.

That's why opportunities like these are so special. They give us the chance to collaborate, support one another, share ideas, and simply enjoy spending time together. We're incredibly grateful for this amazing team and always leave these gatherings feeling refreshed and inspired.

👀 You may even spot some new faces in these photos…stay tuned, we can't wait to introduce an exciting addition to the GSMT team soon!!

This year marks America's 250th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than by reflecting on the incredible history of American music?

In July's GSMT newsletter, our fabulous Kelly Weaver, MT-BC, takes readers on a journey through the evolution of American music, from Stephen Foster's early contributions and Scott Joplin's groundbreaking ragtime to the rise of jazz with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. She also highlights Florence Price's historic achievement as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra and explores how music continued to evolve through swing, the patriotic works of the 1940s, rock 'n' roll, the folk revival, hip hop, disco, pop, and today's genre-fluid, technology-driven landscape. Throughout history, music has served as a powerful tool for storytelling, self-expression, advocacy, and connection, and this article beautifully reminds us of the lasting impact music has had on shaping our nation.

Check out our "Celebrating America Through Music" playlist on Spotify by kweaves, MT-BC. Please note: Some songs on this playlist may contain explicit lyrics or themes, listener discretion is advised!

Happy Music Therapy Monday! Time to play a game!!

At the New Hampshire Family Support Conference, we invited participants to join us in a round of “Is it music therapy or not?” We shared real-life scenarios where music was being used and, as a group, decided whether each example qualified as music therapy. It led to great discussion, some surprises, and a deeper understanding of what makes music therapy unique! If you’d like to learn a little bit more about music therapy, be sure to check-out some of the other music therapy Monday posts on our page!!

Important note before we begin: These examples are all made up. Any resemblance to anyone past or present is coincidental.

Let’s try one together!

Cassadi Kulak, MT-BC begins seeing Donna, an 83-Year-Old who was just transferred to Hospice Care. She is very anxious about moving to hospice and experiencing a lot of pain. Cassadi plays music from Donna’s favorite movie, the Wizard of Oz, in order to help her take deeper breaths and lower her
Anxiety.

Is it music therapy or not??

This is music therapy!!

Cassadi is a board-certified Music Therapist. She created non-music goals for Donna and used personalized musical interventions to achieve those goals!

Swipe through to play along and see how you do! Let us know in the comments how many you got right! 👀

We’d like to share one of our favorite moments from this past weekend at the New Hampshire Family Support Conference!

In this workshop, participants came together to create a band, “The Rockers,” and collaboratively rewrite their own version of “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus. What started as a simple idea quickly turned into a full group performance, shaped by everyone’s input, creativity, and energy!

This video captures just a piece of that experience. Even though not everyone is on camera, you can still hear the full group, with some participants just out of frame still singing, playing, and dancing along.

This performance is a fantastic reminder of what can happen when we come together through music!! Thank you to all of our Rockers and we can't wait to see you all again next year!

We had such a great time this past Saturday at the New Hampshire Family Support Conference in Concord. It’s always an incredible event, and we’re so grateful to have been part of it again this year!

We had the opportunity to offer two workshops, each with a very different (but equally meaningful) focus. In our first session, participants came together to form a band, “The Rockers,” and collaborated to rewrite their own parody of “Flowers” originally by Miley Cyrus. We were blown away by the creativity, teamwork, and musicality of the group. The energy in the room was something special! While not everyone is in the video, you can definitely hear the full band, with some participants just out of frame still singing, playing, and dancing along!! Be sure to check out our other post to see the final performance by “The Rockers!”

Our second workshop took a more educational approach, focusing on real-life applications of music therapy. We played a game called “Is it music therapy or not?” and had some great conversations about what music therapy is, what it isn’t, and how it can be used to support individuals in meaningful ways. We hope participants left with a clearer understanding of the field and some helpful local resources!

It was so nice to see many familiar GSMT faces throughout the day, and to make new connections as well. We’re always glad to be part of this event and are already looking forward to next year!!

Music has the power to make us feel so many things.

For World Music Therapy Week, our team of MT-BCs came together to share songs we like to listen to when we want to feel happy, calm, motivated, and seen. We created four emotion-based playlists that reflect the wide variety of music we each gravitate toward to support different feelings. Not only are these playlists a great way to explore new music that might support emotional regulation, they’re also a fun way to get to know our team through the music that resonates with us!

In music therapy, getting to know an individual’s music preferences is a key part of the process. The songs we connect with can support emotional expression, regulation, motivation, and meaningful connection. Just like our team, every client brings their own unique musical identity into the space, and we use that to support their personal goals!!

🎧 Please note: Some songs on these playlists may contain explicit lyrics or themes, listener discretion is advised!

✨ We’d love to hear from you!
What songs make you feel:
• Happy
• Calm
• Motivated
• Seen or understood
Drop your favorites in the comments below 👇

And be sure to check out the “I Feel Happy 😁,” “I Feel Calm 🧘,” “I Feel Motivated 💪,” and “I Feel Seen ☺️” playlists created by Spencer D. Cole on Spotify.
