When I first heard about this Research I was freaking out. Now the terror is only half as bad, but I am still a little nervous. My original thesis was Musical therapy is a useful tool in the retirement community due to the fact it reduces depression, helps with recalling memory, and increases hand eye coordination skills. Now I must change it to Musical therapy should be used more in nursing homes because it has been proven in other aspects to help with memory recall, reduce depression, and handai coordination skills. The main problem I am having right now is setting up meetings with the director of White Oak; since I have to drive at least 15 minutes to arrive there. I also need to make more of a effort to contact Mrs. Ward at the Hospice House, so I can get all of the necessary requirements to play there. Another problem I am having trouble with is organizing my homework,Senior Project, and free time to complete everything as well as relax. The main problem is that drive to Hospice House takes at least 30 minutes from Oakbrook. Then after I arrive there I spend at least an hour discussing different dates arranging and replanning my schedule which takes at least an hour. Finally I get home and it is already 6 o' clock and I spend at least 3 to 4 hours doing my homework. After this is all done I finally sleep,but I need to practice my guitar. I am not complaining about the project itself, but if you are just giving us abstracts to keep us busy. We are already swamped.
Blasi- I do not see why you had to change your thesis. I liked the first one better! Talk to me about this.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I can assure you I do not "give abstracts just to keep you busy"! Actually I am surprised you said that as it would seem the more appropriate comment would be to say "Thanks MzZ for canceling the recent abstract"!! Hmmm....???
Blasi, I would encourage you to focus on White Oak and maybe meet with Mrs. Sara Epting.. A resident there... she was the original music coordinator with District 6. Mrs. Epting is in her 90's and an amazing lady. I would be happy to introduce you.
ReplyDeleteThank you mr. Boyles I have already visited there but i will ask if i can see her
ReplyDeleteMrs Zion I want to keep my old thesis but there is not that much research for music therapy in retirement homes so i am going to prove that it works and should be used more in retirement homes
