I started this blog (Rhythm For Good) to address questions that I encounter on a daily basis through my work as a music therapist. Some questions follow:

What is music therapy?
How do you use music therapy in a neonatal intensive care unit?
What does music do for babies?
Where is music therapy practiced in a NICU?

I don’t have rhythm. How am I supposed to play a drum?
How is drumming good for my health?
I have an older loved one who enjoys music. What should I play for him/her?
How can I find out when/where to play drums in a group?

Based upon the most frequently asked questions, you can probably tell that the Sound Health Music therapists and I work mostly with people at the beginning of life and towards the end of life. We also provide rhythm-based wellness services. Most blog posts focus on these topics. New blog posts are published once or twice per week.
