You know, it's one thing to improvise on your own, and that's great, and you can get a lot out of that. So my biggest thing for musicians that I encourage is, you know, improvise.
Ever wondered how music can be more than just a pleasant background noise? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Dean Quick, a board-certified music therapist and Program Director at TranscendED, a treatment center for eating disorders. Quick delves into the transformative potential of music therapy for mental health, especially for those battling eating disorders and other mental illnesses.
Dean Quick explains how music can reach parts of the brain that are often inaccessible through traditional therapies.

He even encourages improvisation, highlighting its benefits for both professional musicians and amateurs alike. Whether you're curious about how music therapy works or looking for new ways to improve your mental health, this episode offers valuable insights.
