On Power and Privilege

We're back back back back back again! Anyone else feeling drained of energy and creativity these past 6 months or so? Us too but we've finally got another episode for your ears! We're joined by Rebecca West in this episode to discuss power and privilege in music therapy and to start looking a little closer at ourselves and our own intersections. This is an important topic and it's vital that we unpack our individual and collective privilege and examine the ways music therapy contributes to oppressive practices. We're glad you're taking the time to listen and don't forget to manifest what you learned into action!  Follow us on Instagram: @MTeaPodcast Send questions/comments/concerns: mteapodcast@gmail.com Link to Transcript [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1On-IQro0dlzq7czytNwsT-6SRcMa98M1dQD0gzegFz8/edit?usp=sharing]

Run for Your Live(lihood)s!

These are turbulent times and we here at the MTea are hunkered down with our kettles, earbuds, and hastily thrown together home offices while we adjust to teaching and therapizing via the internet. But that hasn't stopped us from producing quality episodes for you to listen to! This episode we're joined by Jenny Branson to discuss why people leave the field of music therapy and other hard questions about our profession.  Follow us on Instagram @MTeaPodcast!
