Therapeutic Musician Presentations
Therapeutic Musicians are frequently asked to make presentations to various audiences about their services. These might include staff of a health care facility, health care volunteers or civic clubs who are interested in raising money to support palliative care organizations. Musicians also should look for opportunities to give interviews to the local media. Members of the Life Long Learning Therapeutic Musician Group are sharing outlines, handouts and experiences they have used for these types of presentations. See also the Life Long Learning Therapeutic Musician Group Meeting notes for October 9/10, 2009 when this topic was discussed.
