As I was sitting in conducting this morning, our teacher handed us small sections of paper. On the paper was observations he had written about our conducting. He gave me a wonderful compliment and I had a sudden jolt of inspiration. I could maybe succeed conducting. It comes naturally to me. But I want to go into music therapy. How can I apply conducting to that field?
One thing I like about the area of music therapy is it seems so versatile. There are so many areas in which music therapy can be applied. And then it came to me.
I want to conduct an ensemble, but not just any ensemble. I want to create a rehabilitation center (or start my own program in a rehab center) for people with terrible drug and alcohol addictions and mental issues. Treatment would be through the education of music. I would begin to teach them basics. Notes, key signature, albums, genres, songs, history, rhythm, musicality... the works. My head is in the clouds right now in terms of dreams and possibilities. I could do this. This could work. I'm off to a good start.
My goal is to be nationally know for the success of the treatment center and have an article written in some magazine about myself and the program and all of the people who have recovered.
Yup.
I found it. This is what I want to do...
What do you think?? =)
Sounds like a good idea to me!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteYay!! Way to dream, girl!! You can do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! Do it! I had a similar dream about 8 years ago, I wanted to reach out to folks with communication impairments and help them gain back the power of communication and become more active in the community and enjoy life a bit more. A part of that dream was working closely with stroke survivors and leading a stroke support group. I just started a stroke support group up this past Tuesday. The next project is to start a program at Turner for taking folks with disabilities down the mountain. Right now, I've got a gentleman who is quadriplegic that I am planning to take snowboarding in the next couple weeks. It feels great to set those kinds of lofty goals and then achieve them.
