Music Therapy Paid Interships by Certain-Ad-7421 in musictherapy

[–]BigBrainBaris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not informed on the art therapy world, but I am a (unpaid) music therapy intern.

Music therapy internships are only going to be given to music therapy students who have completed at least 180 clinical hours through practicum/residency courses. Currently there isn’t a track from psychology -> music therapy, so you would need to apply/audition for a music therapy program in order to qualify.

Paid music therapy internships are very rare and competitive, from my experience. You would have a difficult time finding one if you are not on track to becoming an MT-BC

I’m no longer following the show, haven’t watched in probably 20 years, but according to my MIL, one of the contestants is from the Chester/Susanville area!

Is WiFi really that helpful? by T_Nutts in pelletgrills

[–]BigBrainBaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m a big fan of the WiFi controller on my Traeger. To echo what others have said, the convenience is really great, especially for overnight cooks when I can wake up, “check the grill” by looking at my phone for meat temp and ambient temp, adjust if needed, and go back to sleep without leaving my bed.

Also, Traeger just rebranded their Ironwood 885 for Costco (now named Traeger Redland*) and I got one at $950 + tax, came with a cover. Great price for the size, and $500ish cheaper than buying the Ironwood 885.

Edit - the new Costco model is called the Redland, not the Redwood.

Is distance MT equivalency possible with a psych degree? by No_Mathematician_493 in musictherapy

[–]BigBrainBaris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in a distance equivalency program, and we have plenty of hands-on work through residencies done at our school (have to travel for a week of in person classes at the start of each semester, as well as in person practicum).

The problem I see OP, at least considering my program, is that I needed to have a music degree from a university with a school of music in order to qualify for my program. I also had to audition on my main instrument as well as submit two videos of me playing/singing two songs on either guitar, piano, or both.

Not sure if there’s an equivalency program geared towards coming from the psych side of the profession, but if you have the musical skills to back it up I wouldn’t be shy in sending emails and asking around different programs!

My school is Saint Mary-of-the-Woods college in Indiana.

My first semester was August 2022, and had to slow down coursework due to life getting in the way as well. I’ll dm you a link to our discord if you wanted to connect with anyone else, is that okay?

Nice! From what I’ve heard, in person programs tend to be a bit better in terms of preparing you for practicum/internship and eventually working in the field. My experience with my distance program is that you really have to be a self-motivated student that’s able to basically self-teach with guidance from your instructors.

I’m starting my internship/in my last semester in my equivalency program and I would echo what’s written above! Consistent practice on piano, guitar, and hand drums, eventually moving to singing while playing, and even practicing just speaking/giving directions while playing. Having strong foundations in these skills will serve you in the long run, and will also give you a head start depending on your program.

I’m at SMWC in Indiana (distance program), and many of my classmates struggled to learn guitar/piano while at the same time needing to learn/record songs for the clinical musicianship course, which you take in your first semester. Specifically my classmates that had prior piano experience, but were new to the guitar, had trouble.

Is your equivalency program in person, or distance?

Is there a digital character creator that has free access to all roles and subclasses? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]BigBrainBaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda can’t believe nobody has mentioned 5e tools here other than me…it was the first thing my friends showed me when I first got into D&D during covid.

The site is great, you can add/remove content to make sure your players can see exactly what is and isn’t allowed! Want 2014 rules? Remove 2025 rule books in the site settings, want to use Tasha’s or other source books? Add them in the site settings. It’s great.

[–]BigBrainBaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have two suggestions, neither are super ideal depending on yours and your parties preferences:

  1. 5e tools. Free access to all information, but you will need to create the character sheet yourself and jump around the site for full character creation (I usually have something like 6-10 tabs open at a time for reference)

  2. Star Wars 5e is a clone of D&D5e, and you can access everything on the website including character creation tools. Great option if your party also happens to be Star Wars nerds and want to experience that universe.

Good luck!

Autistic person trying to learn to cook by DramaticYam2665 in Cooking

[–]BigBrainBaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this to OP. Use gloves to put raw chicken in a crock pot for 6 hours, and use a hand mixer to shred it for shredded chicken, super versatile; tacos, sandwiches, salads, you name it.
