"REAL TALK pt. 2" with the Synergy Music Therapy team
Synergy Music Therapy is the sister practice to the Able Voice Podcast founded by Hayley Francis Cann and Kimberly Dolan. In this episode we are joined by some of our clinical team members including Jessica Nielsen, Rebekah Armstrong, Olivia Maveal, and Nicole Cordeau. We had such a wonderful time chatting with Sarah and Kim during the first "REAL TALK" conversation that we were inspired to have more. This was another fantastic chat from the perspective of certified music therapists in various points in their career. Our main takeaways from these two episodes are that more spaces to have these types of conversations are needed. SO, this will not be the last of these REAL TALK chats. This series will return in a future season of AVP. For now, enjoy this REAL TALK chat with the Synergy Music Therapy team.

"Getting to NO you" with Roia Rafieyan
Roia Rafieyan recently retired from long-term employment as a music therapist in a residential care facility in the United States. Most of the last 33 years were spent in the company of institutionalized nonspeaking Autistic people with whom she collaboratively and continuously worked to evolve into a more respectful music therapist.
Roia spent most of her time as a music therapist working in a state facility for people labelled with various intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Voices article authored by Roia titled, "Getting to 'no' you: When nonspeaking autistic people refuse music therapy," notes that nonspeaking people are often placed in music therapy, not necessarily because they want to be there. She believes it's incumbent upon us, as music therapists, to learn how nonspeaking people communicate "no," so we can begin to honor efforts at self-determination/self-advocacy.
Roia’s current interests are arts-based research, collage, and reading. Her enduring interests are relationally-based music therapy approaches, reflexive practice and clinical supervision.

"En route to the 2022 CAMT Conference" with Hayley and Kim
Join us for a little road trip to the 2022 CAMT Conference in Niagara. To set the scene, it was about 5am EST and both Hayley and Kim had very little sleep the night before. They started driving and decided the conversation was too good not to capture. So, they turned on the microphone and here we are... PODCAST IN A CAR!
In this episode, Hayley and Kim talk about the roles of a music therapy participant and a music therapy participant supporter. The roles of both are super valuable to the session and hold an incredible opportunity to get involved and understand more about the music therapy process.

(Debrief) "What happens when music happens?"
“If the person is the answer, what is the question?”
As therapists we are often seeking information and responses from the people we work with. But what happens if we shift the mindset? In this episode we engage in a thought provoking conversation with Paul Lauzon exploring elements of human connection within therapy and the various perspectives that we hold both inside and outside of the therapy space. Paul shares his journey and insights into our inquisitive nature, along with tangible elements and questions for us to consider along our journeys.

(Debrief) "The Value of Animal Song and Ecocentric Perspectives"
In this episode of the Able Voice Podcast Debrief, Kim and Hayley speak candidly about episode 2 of season 3 with guest Dr. Emily Doolittle. In the main episode Emily sheds light on the close connection between human life and that of the critters and world around us. She takes us deeper into the world of zoomusicology, animal song, and shares more about her musical and written work within that realm.
Join us in this contemplative episode as we reflect on the interactions between animal and human sound, ecocentric community, colonialist considerations, and the relationship between music and nature.
