We focus our efforts on music therapy-based support groups for the bereaved\, develop our own bereavement support group session plans\, and practice our skills in role plays under clinical supervision. Understanding that our client base is becoming increasing diverse\, this course includes an overview of Asian culture and US inner-city culture.

SUMMARY:Moving from Chord-play to Melody-play: Expand Your Guitar Playing Today
DESCRIPTION:Today’s MT-BC is increasingly called upon to deliver instrumental music in medical and hospice/palliative care environments. Many of us were trained to play melodically on the piano with chord accompaniment\, but were in no way prepared to do this using the guitar. In this course\, Center instructor Carolyn Koebel\, MM\, MT-BC will specifically show you how to access the melody inside the (basic) chord shapes you are already familiar with by identifying the location of the notes of the triad inside the chord\, the location of the scale within the chord shape\, and applying this to religious/folk/popular/world music repertoire that we routinely interact with. Truly\, you can transform your playing very swiftly by attaching meaning to chord shapes\, and  re-organizing your picking patterns and accompaniment. Participants will earn 3 CMTEs. \nObjectives: \n\nParticipants will expand their capacity to play melodically within harmonic structures on the guitar for multi-genre repertoire\nParticipants will review basic chord theory to add meaning to chord shapes and to more quickly activate extended chord repertoire\nParticipants will broaden the musicality of their accompaniment by further defining bass and melody strings and increasing variation of finger-picking and strum patterns\n\nSchedule: \n\nReview importance of clinical competency and need for guitar proficiency\nLearn how to access the melody with inside basic chord shapes\nApply this to religious/folk/popular/world music repertoire\nPractice\nQuestion/Answer\n\nParticipants will receive the login information and directions to join the webinar 24hrs prior to the start time.  The Center uses the Zoom platform for all webinars.\n**All times listed are EST.
