episode Ep 97 - Lifting Lives with Dr. Elisabeth Dykens and Dr. Elizabeth Roof cover

Description

Awareness Month keeps rolling on this week with two very special guests: Dr. Elizabeth Roof and Dr. Elisabeth Dykens from Vanderbilt Kennedy Center. They are the driving force behind the Academy of Country Music Lifting Lives [https://vkc.vumc.org/vkc/services/acm_music_camp/] music camp in Nashville which has been changing the lives of adults with WS as well as some of Country Music's biggest stars for over 20 years.  They join their old friend Brendan (along with Producer Joel filling in for Jen) to discuss the relationship between WS, anxiety, and music. When the first two team up, it's often music as the panacea for splitting them up again. As always, this episode is sponsored by Innersense Organic Beauty.

Ep 103 - Theater Inclusivity with Rachel Flamm

This week we channel our inner "theater kid energy" as we are joined by Rachel Flamm. She shares about how her love school led to her getting a degree in Early Childhood Education and Sociology. Then Producer Joel so they can nerd out over their love of acting and singing. Rachel wonderfully describes how her Williams syndrome gives her a leg up on understanding her characters! Big shout out to Omar Rudberg from Rachel - his #1 Fan! Joel shared info about the different apps he uses when working in theater. The first is Rehearsal Pro (https://rehearsal.pro/ [https://rehearsal.pro/]) which allows you to go paperless while working on your script. Second is Linelearner (https://alldayapps.wordpress.com/home/linelearner/ [https://alldayapps.wordpress.com/home/linelearner/]) which allows you to record all the lines in a scene and then blank out yours to help with memorization of your lines and cues. Finally there's Sheet Music Scanner (https://sheetmusicscanner.com/ [https://sheetmusicscanner.com/]) which allows you to snap a photo or upload a .pdf of a song and it will play the accompaniment digitally.
