Red Cedar Rhythm
I'm pleased to announce that I am returning with periodic new episodes of Beyond Your Front Door Northwest!
Tune in this week as I speak with licensed music therapists, Katie Sample and Adrian Romero of Red Cedar Rhythm. Katie and Adrian discuss the benefits of music therapy in addressing physical rehabilitation, pain management, and mental health goals.
We discuss the power of music therapy, its benefits (some may surprise you), and the potentially controversial uses of AI in regard to music therapy as well as share about Katie and Adrian's performance duo, "Box Rat."
