Hey there again. This past Wednesday, April 9th, I had the wonderful opportunity to share the benefits of music therapy for those with Autism on the Autism Live show with Shannon and Nancy. They were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable in my first ‘live’ interview! (excuse me while I scream in excitement!) … Read more
Not sure if any of you have checked in on Jimmy Fallon and the new Tonight Show, but WOW is he doing some great and funny things! The creativity never ceases to amaze me.
This past Sunday were the Oscars and ‘Let it Go’ won for Best Song from the Movie Frozen. Here is Idina Menzel singing the Academy Award winning song on Jimmy Fallon, accompanied by members of the band playing children’s instruments. LOVE IT.
Did you all watch the Grammys last night? Of course I had to tune in as there were many musical collaborations in the line up. My favorite (by far!) was Carole King and Sara Bareilles’ duet of “Beautiful Brave”. King is most known for her Song of the Year from the 70’s “You’ve Got a Friend” in which she was the first woman to receive the award. Enjoy the duet.
As some of you may know, The Sing Off is back in full swing! Pentatonix was the winner of the competition last year and they are doing great things. Here is something to get you into the holiday spirit!

As the holidays are quickly approaching, I came across this video that made me smile, laugh, and cherish what is ‘the holiday season’. I hope you enjoy the “Magic Piano” which surprised some of its visitors.
Well today marks the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And it’s Halloween. Happy Halloween! Any cute costumes this year?
A friend of mine told me about this video, so of course I had to check it out. This month you may have seen pink cleats on many NFL players, pink ribbons on lapels, and now…pink gloves at the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon. They got their ENTIRE team involved in this video. And, boy, does it look like a good time, supporting a great cause.
I found this video this morning and had to share it with you. Notice how the children smile, their eyes glimmer. Notice how the staff look at each other, and laugh when they make a mistake. Notice the men in suits. Notice the connection between nurses and patients. Notice that they are in a hospital, yet experiencing a positive experience through music.
What an inspirational video. I hope you take the few minutes to watch.
