Musical performance can be a life-long creative practice that helps to nurture and support the life of a music therapist. This story offers a personal perspective of the meaning of shared music experiences outside the clinical setting, and focuses on the value of continuing performance of one's "own music," that which is personally relevant, through different phases of life.
