Melodic Goals News

 Back at it again with a lovely presentation at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut! Mellany facilitated an interactive presentation for educators that included information about music therapy, interventions that could be utilized in the classroom, and the benefits of music therapy for children as well as individuals across the lifespan! Thanks again so much for having us! 

 We are SO grateful to have had the opportunity to present at this year's New England Region American Music Therapy Association conference. We partnered with Progressions Music Therapy Services and The Michael Bolton Charities, Inc. to make this all happen. Our presentation on the Beyond Trauma: Youth Music Therapy programs located in both New London and New Haven Connecticut provided opportunities for other professionals to peek into the nature of our work as well as discuss ways in which we, as professional healthcare and wellness providers, could begin or continue their work with youth and communities in need of additional support. We are also so thankful to have made some many new connections this weekend and can't wait to collaborate with you all in the future!

Mellany presented at a school to teach students about the music therapy profession! Students were engaged and participated in music-centered experientials to learn more about what a music therapy session may look like in a group setting.

As a team that grew up in New Britain and Hartford, we aim to give back to the communities that helped shape us into the people we are today! Special thanks to the familiar and new faces that helped make this day happen! 

 Melodic Goals will be attending the 3rd annual Women in STEM Conference! Although we're waiting for a new date, we're so thankful to have connected with Petals and S.T.E.M. and Mellany looks forward to facilitating a workshop on self-care and goal setting for these amazing women!
