Therapeutic Songwriting Project by Landless Serving the Homeless ’04, ’13 Featured on WDVM Television

Assistant Professor of Music Therapy Bronwen Landless ’04, ’13, , M.M.T., MT-BC, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music Therapy Allison Terrell ’14, ’18 M.M.T., MT-BC, were featured in local news reports that highlighted songwriters in the therapeutic songwriting program they are facilitating in partnership with the Sinclair Health Clinic and as part of Landless’ current research. The study purpose is to explore the impact of therapeutic songwriting on people experiencing homelessness and their surrounding communities. So far, three people have completed the program, writing original songs and sharing them with friends, family and members of the Winchester community. Through their songs (shared with permission), the songwriters have shared their stories and life views, including themes of optimism and hope, resilience in overcoming trials, and balancing internal identities. They have expressed pride in their songs and gratitude for the program. Community members with whom the songs were shared have described the experience as “moving,” “life changing” and “inspiring.”
