What helps you focus to get your task list done? *Music* helps me stay productive. I usually have at least a portion of my second monitor (sometimes the whole screen) reserved for a cool video that keeps me focused, like this one. The images on the video also help me feel like I'm getting a bit of "sunshine" and "nature" in my office. My sun lamp adds to the atmosphere, making my office comfortable, positive, and motivating. https://lnkd.in/eN6gkpbD

Beginner Tips: Strummin’ “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In”

It’s International Music Therapy Week! It’s a great time to educate and advocate for the healing power of music therapy. One of the things I get a lot is… “You’re a music therapist? That’s so cool to have a job to make people happy.” Well, that is not my job. Far from it. My job is to create music experiences to ‘help’ people work towards a goal or a need. Imagine if I walked into a hospital room in the oncology unit to work with someone who just got results from a biopsy and just found out that they have cancer. My job is certainly not to make them happy. I’m a firm believer that sometimes we need ‘melancholy’ music. Sometimes we just need to feel what we are feeling inside. We need to simply be in that space. We need to honor it, process it, figure it out. Music creates connection and presence, and that can be powerful when one is trying to work through it all out. And then we can start to move towards releasing it. In fact, most of the work I do in the hospital lives in this space. And such, the music is creating empathy and compassion on an aesthetic level. Here is something the represents that musical space. Something that can be, perhaps, the beginning of healing... #MusicTherapy #MusicHeals

The current delivery methods for music (Streaming + Short Form Video) has seemingly influenced a whole new listenership toward ears that eclipse genre. Discovery: In the 1st instance (Streaming): There are no walls / The Velvet Underground is essentially on the same virtual shelf as any major artist on the radio in 2024. Young people who explore music via streaming (despite the playlists organizing via genre) simply have a more fluid relationship with music and tastemaking. In the internet we often see hyper specificity or oceanic breadth sometimes in the same listeners. In the 2nd (Short Form Video/ Reels & TikTok): I see numerous LA/NYC musicians/groups creating within (and seemingly for) very specific cultures/genres that have connected to a broader listenership because their music emotes in a way that lends itself to a cinematic rendering or theme. The same applies for catalog music (a song that started its life as a 60's garage regional hit in Mississippi is now unsurprisingly the soundtrack of someones brunch in West Hollywood in 2024) and perhaps a million other iterations of Short Form Video. The 3rd is obviously that these two work in a symbiotic way - The sense of music discovery right now is awe inspiring, and it is only growing; hopefully bending toward a sense of quality beyond genre or era and independence for musicians and labels like ours.

Friday's Song: Tramonto "Tramonto" is Italian for sunset, but also means end of a dream, an empire, a phase of life, or a life. I think this song captures the intended feeling of watching something dear to you fade. Not my best piano playing, but sometimes simple is good.
