The group members were first introduced to the concept of music therapy and what to expect from participation. The music therapist demonstrated how to play each instrument, as each instrument was shown various women commented on which instruments they were excited to play and which instruments they had a connection to. Each group member was invited to select an instrument and begin playing. We began with various structured musical games to begin to connect with one another and get acquainted with each instrument. Group members laughed and joked while playing each game. We then moved into free improvisation. One by one each participant added a musical layer to the group sound until everyone was playing. We continued playing, creating a beautiful musical improvisation. After engaging in music making we moved into listening. Each group member was invited to select a song of meaning to share with the group. We all listened to the selections and then engaged in a verbal debrief to share our thoughts and impressions of the song. Some people related the lyrics to their own experiences and memories. It was wonderful to hear everyone's thoughts and explore what resonated with each group member. To close, we created one final musical improvisation. Group members were asked to choose descriptive words to describe what we were about to create, the words shared were loud, fast, love, joy, happiness, spring and hope. We improvised around these words for several minutes trying to encapsulate each idea. As we concluded, group members felt that we did accomplish a sound that matched the description. Those words and the music will take us through each of our days!
