Last week, a SLEW of music therapy bloggers posted articles on music therapy advocacy. I’m super excited to share them with you here:

• CODA Quips shared a story about advocating in everyday
• Beyond the Music MT talked about her journey becoming an advocate
• In addition to sharing Dena Register’s advocacy article on his personal blog, Bill Matney wrote about “your role” in advocacy on his Music Therapy Drumming blog
• The Mindful Music Therapist shared her take on why we do advocacy, as well as 10 tips about doing advocacy
• Music Therapy Round Table podcast interviewed AMTA’s Judy Simpson and CBMT’s Dena Register on advocacy and government relations
• Eclectic Guitar shared Dena Register’s advocacy post–part 1 and part 2
• You can find an article on teaching advocacy and one on social media advocacy on the Music Therapy Source blog
• Rhythm for Good shared her thoughts on the State Recognition Operational Plan

I encourage you to please support these fabulous music therapy bloggers by clicking on the links above and reading their thoughts!

P.S. I’m trying to get my blog “claimed” on Technorati. Not really sure way, but apparently it’s something bloggers do 🙂 So please excuse this code: QTW49C4F3DAJ
