The session plans that I can use were very helpful.

Thank you for these amazing CMTEs! I really enjoy the ability to complete them from home - they are also such a great jumping off point for refreshing my repertoire for group sessions!

Jessica Johnson has a beautiful voice. It reminds me of Colbie Caillat. I also bought Group Music Therapy Interventions Working in Neurologic Rehabilitation by Rebecca Vaudreuil and am very impressed with both books. Thanks again for providing such great products.
