Happy August!
We hope you’re enjoying these last couple weeks of summer before the schools start up again. So kick back and relax for a few – we’ve got you covered with some tunes and self-care tips this week.
Song

Great hook for people of all ages that pairs well with active music making.

Gear
Backpack Guitar Gig Bag
If you’re a mobile music therapist, being able to have your hands free is usually a must. This case protects your guitar and is a reasonable price.
Self Care

Breathing! It’s something you can do anywhere and helps with focus and thought clarity. This particular app allows you to document your level of stress and has audio narration, animation, and videos.

Hope you enjoyed this week! As always, if you have additional resources you think other music therapists might want to know about, share them below. And, if you’ve been loving the Friday 5, please help us cover our costs and keep the love going here.
Have a great weekend!
