Evidenced-based practice is a buzz word being used in most health and education fields. But what is it and how is it used in music therapy? Where did it come from? If we aren't doing evidence-based practice, then what are we doing? These and other questions will be the topic of the show today and I'll also offer some questions you can ask your music therapist, health professional or educator to find out about the evidence that supports the treatment or educational plan. I'll also talk about how to make your practice evidence-based.
Listen LIVE at noon Eastern, 11 am Central, 10 am Mountain, 9 am Pacific. Call in to listen or join the discussion at 646-652-2850. Missed the live show? Listen to the archives or download on iTunes.

May 13, 2011 - Finding Balance
The illustrious and industrious Michelle Erfurt wrote in: "The main reason for [cutting back on my responsibilities] is for personal balance and sanity. Truth is that I have so many ideas that I think I should do them all... and I'm learning the hard way that a result of acting willy nilly like that can be overload. I've encountered the same thing with sessions as well.
This topic of 'editing yourself' is one that I wonder if other MTs would be interested in hearing about and/or gone through as well. Is this a topic that you and I could discuss on your podcast?" So this week, I'm going to discuss how to find balance and "edit yourself". Michelle called in and shared some of her strategies, I shared mine, and JoAnn Jordan shared hers in the chat room!
