During this difficult time in which social distancing and isolation has become the new norm, music is needed now more than ever.
Music erases boundaries as it brings people together.

Every week, we will share a new music video featuring songs sung and played by our music therapy staff, interns and clients.
We hope that these music listening experiences will provide you with some comfort during your day.

Below you will find videos from our staff, current and past interns, as well as members of our TRC band, Lot’s O’ Stuff!

We’re so very happy to keep services going with our clients, virtually! For our school districts, we are keeping contact going through creating content based off of our repertoire. We miss our kiddos at Franklin Early Childhood Center, face to face. Here’s Mr. Mike and Ms. Rebecca singing one of their favorites, “Spiderman”.

Have you heard our band, Lots O’ Stuff? These guys rock! The band consists of staff music therapists, student music therapy interns, and an all-abilities, neurodiverse group of young adults. We come together every week (now online!!!) to rehearse and choose new songs for our concerts. Check out “Thunderstruck”.
