Music, The Body in Time and Self-Similarity Concepts by Daniel Schenck
This abstract discusses how research into selfsimilarity and space-time can provide insight into the mechanisms by which the six elements of music (rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, dynamics, and form) are successful in eliciting profound physiological responses. When these mechanisms are more fully understood, they can be used to develop diagnostic protocols which contribute a scientific basis for using music as a clinical intervention in a variety of diagnosed populations.

Music as Medicine, Dr. Deforia Lane
I continue to be inspired by reading Music as Medicine by Dr. Deforia Lane, who recently came to the Pacific Northwest to speak about her work. "The tool I use, music, is powerful indeed" she says. "who can understand the way it moves in the head, the heart, or someone's soul? And who can explain the weight of the emotions that are carried on a song: grief, hope, joy, love, sorrow, maybe just one, maybe one and another, maybe all the bittersweet stirrings of what it means to be alive?"

I surpassed the 300 mark today thanks to several wonderful encounters:
18 - Parkinson's Support Group at Legacy Salmon Creek (I gave a presentation about singing and Parkinson's Disease to this group today. Hoping to establish a Tremble Clefs Choir in Vancouver)
3 - Legacy Salmon Creek employees (As I carried my guitar around the hospital looking for the meeting room, several employees stopped and chatted with me about music therapy)
16 - Mastermind group members(Who gave me some great advice about marketing my music therapy business)
