Music Therapy Program Releases ‘Keep Your Head Up‘ Video Cover to Cultivate Community

The music therapy program released “Keep Your Head Up,” a community song project designed to help students feel connected to each other and the program as a whole. Experientially, it also sought to remind them of the power of music. The students voted on the song they wanted to perform, and then Avery Apgar ’20 (Bachelor of Music Therapy) created a detailed outline of the song for students to sign up for to perform individual parts. Coordinator of Undergraduate Music Therapy and Assistant Professor of Music Therapy Hakeem Leonard, Ph.D., MT-BC, mixed and edited the parts to create the final audio track, and Allie Kassraie ’21 (Bachelor of Music Therapy) produced the entire video. It was presented during a special release party on Friday, May 15.
