Musical Health

A Soundtrack for Life Our lives are punctuated by a diverse array of melodies, each song serving as a sonic bookmark for significant chapters. The first dance at a wedding, the rhythm of a road trip, or the lullaby that cradled us to sleep – these musical imprints become a personalized soundtrack for our journey through time. But how does it work? In this episode we explore how music functions in our brain, specifically the ability of music to evoke emotions and how this has strong implications for our memory.

I was so inspired by my recent conversation with Stephanie Leavell and I am sure you will be too! Listen to learn about Stephanie's journey to music therapy, her process of intentional songwriting and how there are TWO music therapists in her family.  Minute 35-literally blew my mind and I now dream of joining Stephanie's band. Stephanie believes that music is a great communicator and she uses all elements of music to communicate. Her music has something for all children to engage with as she expresses the intention of the song using rhythm, lyrics, melody and instrumentation. Stephanie is the creator of Music for Kiddos, a website that provides high-quality music and music resources for music therapists, music educators, and parents. She's mom to a spunky young daughter, a seasoned performer, an experienced music educator, and a board certified music therapist. Stephanie is a Berklee College of Music graduate and is passionate about using music to help kids succeed. She specializes in working with babies and kids through age 6. Stephanie jokes that she has a low tolerance for cheesy music. She writes music to help kids be successful in their daily life: night-time routines, transitions, movement, instrument exploration, academic concepts, and helping kids understand and express their feelings. Music cannot be "prescribed", because the effectiveness of music is highly individualized, but this is a starting point... some tried and true music and resources that you might find helpful, too.

On this months episode, Caitlin sits down with songwriter and therapist, Monica Metzler. Conversation centers on grief, songwriting and all the magic in between. Forest Veil is the solo work of Portland, Oregon multi-instrumentalist/producer Monica Metzler. Following the echoes of her elusive muse, Forest Veil makes mystical psych-folk that maps the emotional terrain of humanity and its place in the cosmos. Melding a voice that sounds like smokey quartz with psychedelic guitar riffs and enigmatic lyricism, Forest Veil's sound evokes a haunting nostalgia for other worlds. Though she primarily writes on her own, Forest Veil records and performs with others. An avid guitarist for over 20 years, Forest Veil's music showcases virtuosic guitar shredding and dynamic musicality. Forest Veil's music has been placed in Coach ads, movies, and TV shows such as Blacklist. Ritual Light, the newest EP from Forest Veil, was released on July 28, 2022 on Spirit House Records. The track “Phoenix” on Ritual Light, is written for Ian Mouser, who founded My Voice Music 13 years ago. Mouser, Metzler's mentor, boss and friend, was tragically hit by a car while biking across the US in October 2021. Through his work with My Voice Music, Ian Mouser inspired thousands of youth to create, write original songs, and release them. Metzler wrote “Phoenix”, in his honor, and to give voice to her own pain and grief. She continues to inspire youth, who are experiencing trauma and living in the margins, to alchemize their pain and emotional experiences, into music and expression.

In episode 34, Caitlin sits down with clinical research specialist and music therapist, Jessica MacLean to gain insight into the world of music and auditory science. Have you considered the implications of music in auditory processing and speech? The interplay of the two are complex, and Jessica does a great job of explaining using her background in research and working in an auditory neuroscience lab. She describes cochlear implants and the use of music to distinguish sounds, dives into the unique role that rhythm plays in hearing and speech and shares her personal experience with tinnitus (which you will hear me struggle to pronounce). She describes what to look for in patients who are at risk for sound sensitivity- and a startling rich discussion about the triangle-you are going to want to tune in for that discussion! We hope you enjoy this episode of musical health! Jessica MacLean, MM, MT-BC is a clinical research specialist at the Indiana University School of Nursing. She acts as core project manager for the BIO-MUSE Study (@sherirobbteamresearch) investigating biological effects of an active music engagement intervention for children with cancer and their caregivers (R01NR019190). She received her Master's in Music Therapy from the University of Miami, where she completed thesis research with children with hearing loss. Prior to her Master's, Jessica worked as a research assistant for the Auditory Neuroscience Lab at Northwestern University.
