Challenge
Challenge – “Invites someone to engage in a contest”.
As a music therapist intern I have been challenged to a contest of telling stories, educating, and giving people functional skills through music. To let the music and one’s own energy drive the music interventions is the challenge. When the musical intervention has succeeded, the challenge gives me, as a therapist and as a person, great rewards. When an intervention does not go as planned then the challenge is to tweak the intervention so it will be successful.
I am glad I have taken on the challenge of the music therapy profession. It is the most rewarding endeavor I have undertaken.
