Not Your Average Music Therapist

Not Your Average Music Therapist is a space for music therapists who feel out of place or out of sorts to come together. Music therapy is a small field that faces lots of challenges. Why not go through these things together?! Kim Best is your host and will share stories, thoughts, and ideas around being the not very average music therapist herself. We’ll talk about wanting to leave the field, feeling like a phony, exploring new avenues, and other things on Kim’s mind. Guests will be invited on the podcast to share their stories and experiences within and outside the music therapy field. Listen in if you’re feeling kinda alone, and hopefully you’ll feel less alone through these episodes. Connect with us on Instagram here: @musictherapistpod

    Beekeeping with music therapist, Nick Lord

    BEES! Listen to some top-tips, to steer clear of bee stings, from a music therapist/beekeeper.   A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with my husband on a church roof with Nick Lord and the bees. Nick taught us all about bees and the process of beekeeping and harvesting honey. It was fascinating, and we found the queen on the first frame we looked at! This was definitely an experience to remember, and thankfully we can savor it a little longer with the hyper-local honey Nick gifted us.   Nick is a music therapist who has ventured into his other hobbies and passions in a big way, such as starting beekeeping on roofs around Rochester.     WHERE TO FIND THE HONEY: Find Flower City Bee Works honey locally in Rochester, NY at Stacy K Floral or one of Nick’s pop-ups around town (or you can enter our giveaway! Ends Nov 4).  Strangebird Brewing in Rochester has honey brown on tap/in cans, called Do Up, using honey from their rooftop hives that Nick manages.   WHERE TO FIND NICK’S MUSIC: Cover group: Spring Drive, www.springdriveband.com Folk group: Chaz & the Dazzlers, Intelligence Is Rising on Spotify   CONNECT WITH NICK: Instagram: @flowercitybeeworks   #rochesterny #beekeeping #hyperlocalhoney #musictherapist #musictherapylife #musictherapists

    Red Flags of Music Therapy Businesses

    This episode is real, raw, and oh so honest. Many of us have had less-than-ideal experiences working for other music therapists, and we’re here to spill the tea. Please know that these are our personal experiences, thoughts, and perspectives. I truly hope there are music therapy businesses out there doing things differently, but for now we will open the conversation up so that maybe, just maybe another music therapist won’t go through what we’ve each been through.   Just a note, this episode was recorded in 2023.    _________________   Head over to kimbest.substack.com to share your thoughts and see what other people are saying about this episode! >>>>>>Take a look at the Survey Results Notes from the episode ⬇️   Links: Shannon’s podcast, Casually Green on Spotify Pros and Cons of Subcontracting, episode with Tricia Caiati from Care Chronicles Podcast Therapeutic crisis intervention MIT living wage calculator Topics from the episode: What are the worst things you went through in music therapy jobs?
