New Name, New Look Coming

Win Dave Holland’s Drumagination and Oliver Sacks’ Musicophilia! If you enter a blog title that I actually use, then I will send you these prize items for FREE.

I need your help. This blog is getting a new look and a new name! In choosing a new name, we’ve got to consider the topics, the types of resources, the style, the readers. Therefore, I’ve written up a list of what this blog is all about.

After checking out the list, please SEE THE POLL ON THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR A NEW NAME! The poll will close in 11 days on June 14 at midnight. If you have additional name ideas, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you, and I truly need your help.

This blog serves to…

1. Offer new ideas and creative strategies for making music available to anyone and everyone.
2. Inspire and motivate people to make music.
3. Advocate for the music therapy profession.
4. Provide resources to music therapists, drum circle facilitators, healthcare professionals, educators, and therapists.
5. Create a community of like-minded professionals who use music therapy, drumming, and supportive music to serve people from birth to end of life, with special focus on the following populations: premature infants, typical babies and toddlers, school-aged kids, children who have special needs, adolescents, corporations, organizations, non-profits, medical patients, older adults, cancer patients, self-care, and just plain old regular people who experience burnout.

Thanks to Salvatore Vuono for the image above.

    How about…

    Healthy Notes
    Pump UP the Music: A Look at Wellness and Rhythm
    Noteworthy Feeds
    The Like-Minded Kaleidoscope
    Different Notes for Like-Minded Folks

    From the list provided (to the right of your page), I’d say “Make Music, Be Happy.” It’s pretty direct.

    G’luck!

    Great idea, Kat! another suggestion I would add is “DrumWell: Conversations on Music and Wellness”….or “DrumBody: Conversations, etc……”

    plus the ones that I voted for on the right.

    I also like Sabina’s Pump Up….. and her Different Notes…..

    hi,

    “Better beat than beaten” got a major LOL from me!

    but in all seriousness, imagine how many violent people might re-channel their energy by drumming?

    I love that!

    good luck!
