The Music Therapy Spot is a 501(c)(3) organization founded and operated by a team of new professionals who are committed to providing and curating resources aimed towards supporting music therapy students, interns, and new professionals. We aim to foster an environment of learning and exploration that is rooted in interdependence and community care. We believe that learning does not happen in a vacuum and the best way to become the people and therapists we want to be is through the process of learning from and with one another.

The Music Therapy Spot

Come and learn how to utilize improvisation in varying styles so that you can use it in your own therapy practice! ft. Nathan Mensah

As we serve a wide variety of clients and patients in our field, learning to broaden our musicianship allows us to approach a higher level of musical proficiency to help benefit those who we serve. In this workshop, we will learn how to “spice up” our improvisation by incorporating different genres and stylistic playing into our music-making. If you are finding improvisation to be too daunting and overwhelming, or if you’ve been stuck wondering how to find new ideas for your music-making, I hope you find this workshop useful!Nathan Mensah
