Erin Hade Lunde, MT-BC, music therapist in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area
On Mondays, I will be writing up a short, non-academic review of an article I’ve found interesting. These articles will be taken from music therapy literature. Tonight, I’m writing about another article I found in imagine. I presented to a group of mothers who have children with delayed speech, and the title of this piece [...]

I had the opportunity to see a good friend and music therapy colleague perform last night here in Minneapolis. Lynn O’Brien and her trio, Hummingbirds, opened for a CD release show. Not only did one of Lynn’s songs bring tears to my eyes, she also inspired me (as she usually does) to try my hand at songwriting again. [...]

I am having trouble with my site at the moment, so I’m hoping that this post at least shows up… Oh, how technology can (and does) make and break my day. I want to say that on Saturday, a smallish group of music therapists in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area met for our monthly [...]

I have a tendency to acquire tools, materials, apps, and even instruments that I enjoy knowing I own, but do not actively use for as long as months after I buy or receive them. Enter: GoodReader. My fiancé happens to be a computer and technology genius and seems to have daily tips and advice, and showed [...]

I had another awesome opportunity to attend a Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concert, this one being the Chamber Music Series #5. I grew up playing violin, and have had a somewhat tenuous relationship with the instrument over the past few years, but I was very engaged in the music tonight.

Tonight I had a somewhat surprise observation by a client’s occupational therapist, and am so happy that she was interested in and excited about our mutual client’s involvement in music therapy. I am hoping to be in contact with her again.

I am a fan of all genres of music. Really. Recently, I’ve been more interested in some types of Indian music, and in gamelan. I am also a big fan of some hip hop and rap music. So, in sharing this post, I’m not in favor of disgracing all hip hop or rap music– not at all. Mostly [...]

Happy Tax Day, friends. I had some direct pay clients last year, but mostly I worked for an employer. This year, however, all is different. And complicated. Because I know very, very little about accounting and business and financial matters, my fiancé suggested I might try some self-education on iTunes U. So! This I did. [...]
