Like music therapists across the country, we in Nevada are advocating for Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance reimbursement. There is an abundance of anecdotal evidence showing the value of music therapy in improving physical and mental health. We are good at sharing stories, but we need to be better at communicating the many research-based outcomes of music therapy. Stories are important – they are why we do what we do – but data is as important, if not more. Sara and I both have a passion for research, and we are in the process of designing a couple of exciting research projects. Believe it or not, I think it’s going to be fun, and I am really looking forward to the opportunity to improve the recognition and legitimacy of our field, both in Nevada and across the country!

On the performance and outreach front, we performed as part of the Renown Healing Arts Concert Series, put on our 9th annual Evening of Romance, sang for the opening of the 77th legislative session, and helped with The Therapy Sessions social media campaign put on by Ad2 Reno. Sara gave two community music therapy presentations, Sheena attended the statewide Volunteer and Corporate Engagement Summit in Las Vegas, and we all somehow managed to keep the day-to-day operations afloat. What a team!

We have set the bar pretty high in the past few weeks, but we are just getting started. In addition to planning our annual spring recital, Artown concert, and Noodles and Notes, we are thrilled to be celebrating our 10th anniversary as a nonprofit organization! We have lots of exciting things planned throughout the year, and we are asking YOU to join us in remembering and looking forward to the future. What are your favorite memories of NMTS? Was there a concert or event that touched your life? Was there a class or therapy session that made a strong impression? Have you made special friends through your involvement with NMTS? What things do you want to see us do in the next ten years? We want to hear from you, and will be featuring your stories in the newsletter and on our website throughout the year. And speaking of looking ahead, make sure to mark your calendars for these events: Tenth Anniversary Celebration Brunch (May 5th), Spring Recital (May 18th), Teen Camp (June 17th -21st), and Artown (July 18th). See you soon!

A Note-Able Evening of Romance: Broadway Lights
