Under the Weather
It has been a ROUGH weekend in the Rambach household. Zach was out of town, and it is Murphy's Law that something always goes wrong when he's away. This time was no exception -- my poor baby Parker got sick for the first time ever. It all started the day Zach left,...
Be a Part of the Baby Band
Let's be honest: it doesn't get much cuter than a whole bunch of babies playing instruments together. I've been a "baby bandleader" for many years now, teaching early childhood music classes, so it's a little ridiculous that it took me this long to write a song all...
My Last Week Working From Home
This summer, I've had lots of people ask me what I do. When I explain that I'm a music therapist with my own private practice/teaching studio, they almost always comment how incredibly lucky I am to work from home. Every time that happens, I think to myself, "Yes, I...
If I Were a Music Therapy Student NOW…
If only we could go back in time and do certain things over again, knowing what we know now. Better yet, having the resources we have now. The years I spent in graduate school studying music therapy (2004-2006) seem like ages ago; SO much has changed in our field, in...
Civil Wars, I’ll Miss You
I fell in love with The Civil Wars' music the first time I heard their song "20 Years" randomly on Pandora in 2011. I couldn't get enough of their album Barton Hollow, and my bandmate and I added several of the songs to our set list. When they posted on their Facebook...
6 Years Since “I Do”
The day Zach proposed to me (7/27/07), I chose a wedding date based on my lucky number: 08/08/08. Conveniently, it's also a very memorable date, which has worked to Zach's advantage ;) We celebrated our 6th year together this week -- a year that has been by far the...
What Does a _______ Say?
One of the things I've looked forward to the most about Parker growing up is hearing him say actual words and expand his vocabulary. It started with just a few -- mama, nana (banana), no, dada -- but that list is growing quickly. Say: Parker is obsessed with our...
Music Therapy Connections is Moving!
Well, this is a bittersweet post if I've ever written one. After 5+ wonderful years providing music therapy services and lessons in my home studio, Music Therapy Connections is moving out. And while I'll miss the non-existent commute and overall convenience of working...
Summer Projects
I've always been a sucker for a full plate, both in the literal sense (ha!) and when it comes to work-related projects. I wasn't sure if that would be the case this summer, since last year at this time I was on maternity leave and work was not a high priority. But it...
