  1. Dear Melanie,

    I recently ran across your piece “Music Therapy Goes Mainstream” at Health News while searching the news. I wanted to say that really enjoyed the article.

    I wanted to ask a request of you. I am part of the founding team for a new multi-faith website called RockOm (www.RockOm.net) – “the crossroads of music and spirituality.” Since
    your article speaks to both music and spirituality, I was wondering if you would be interested in allowing us to repost this article to this site. We would certainly grant you the author credit and provide a link back to the original article and anything else you’d like to promote.

    Just something to think about. If you’d rather not, or you can’t for legal reasons, that’s fine… just throwing it out there as a possibility. Take care and many blessings-
